.DISCUSSION...

Southerly winds will persist across the region through the week,
resulting in a gradual increase of moisture. Despite dry weather
and a breezy southerly wind, relative humidity levels each day
will be well above critical thresholds.

Q&A
- Will we see a chance for dense fog formation?

Overall conditions are not favorable for dense fog formation.

- Will we see any sea-breeze formation?

Temperatures are not expected to be high enough to drive a sea-
breeze...additionally, gradient/environmental winds will be out of
the southeast to south
