    WEATHER DISCUSSION: After a rainy start to the week that saw
    nearly 3 inches of rainfall from Tuesday to Thursday, conditions
    have calmed to finish out the work week. Expect dry and breezy
    conditions through Saturday evening, before a surface trough
    moves into the area likely causing moderate to heavy precipi-
    tation during the morning hours of Sunday. During this period,
    winds will drop to around 10 knots ahead of another trade wind
    influx causing more showers on Monday. Conditions will even-
    tually settle for the start of the work week as breezy and mostly
    dry weather returns.

    FRIDAY and SATURDAY: Mostly sunny and breezy with stray
    showers, isolated to widely scattered Saturday night. Winds
    NE-E at 13-18 knots with occasional higher gusts.

    derstorms. Winds ENE-ESE at 7-12 knots with higher gusts near
