.DISCUSSION...

Southeast winds will persist into tomorrow, but winds will
gradually shift to the northeast and north starting on Saturday
and continuing into Sunday as a cold front slowly drifts south
across the region.  These northerly winds will continue into
Monday.  This front will bring higher rain chances to the area
Saturday night into Sunday night. High pressure will move
over the area Monday night, and winds will shift to the
northeast and then to the southeast by Tuesday.  Humidity
levels are not expected to drop into critical levels through
Thursday, but fog potential remains high both tonight and
again on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.

.REMARKS...
1) Probability of fog <=1/2 mile is 40% for tonight into Sat morning.
This probability reaches its height after 4am and lowers by 8am Sat.
2) The winds at this location will be light and variable through much
of the morning today. Winds finally begin to develop a stable direction
between 11am and noon from the S or SSW from gradient flow.
3)  Winds will become light enough to also become variable in direction
and possibly calm from time to time overnight mainly after 2am tonight.
4) Not expecting any strong directional changes from the west or east
once wind direction stabilizes from the south and picks up speed by late
morning.
