OTHERWISE...RAIN CHANCES DIMINISH TUESDAY WITH PASSAGE AND
WEAKENING OF THIS LATEST FEATURE. WILL HOWEVER BE MAINTAINING
DAILY CHANCES FOR MAINLY AFTERNOON AND EARLY EVENING CONVECTION
FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK AS A MOIST LOW LEVEL SOUTHERLY FLOW

THE WEEK AS WITH HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST CONUS
AND NEAR COASTAL WATERS. SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY IS
