.DISCUSSION...

A cold front will move through the area tonight into tomorrow
morning. Northerly winds will develop behind the front and
remain in place through tomorrow night.  Humidity will also fall
to between 30 and 40 percent behind the front for both Friday and
Saturday.  As the high passes to the north and settles in to the
east of the area over the weekend, winds will shift from the
north and northeast to the southeast.  By next week, a low
pressure system will bring higher rain chances, humidity,
and persistent southeast winds.
