site will be to increase cloud cover, but there will also be a 10
to 20 percent chance of showers impacting the site, with little if
any rain accumulations expected. Moving forward, high pressure
will build over the area over the weekend, resulting in a
noticeable warming and drying trend. Relative humidity values will
drop noticeably by Sunday into Monday, remaining low through
