.DISCUSSION...
West winds prevail this morning, then become southwesterly heading
into the late morning and afternoon. A few gusts to near 25 mph
are possible. Highs will climb into the upper 70s, with a chance
to see low 80s given current forecast trends. This could
potentially lower RH values further, and RH in the low 20s is
possible by mid afternoon. Look for increasing cloud cover late in
the afternoon and into the evening hours.
