Good morning. High pressure over the region today will begin to shift

warm conditions are forecast through midweek, with no mentionable rain
chances. Min RH values will fall to around 35 percent this afternoon.
Light and variable winds early this morning will become northeast by
mid-morning with speeds around 10 mph or less. The east coast sea breeze
is forecast to form in the afternoon and push inland, veering the winds
east to southeast behind the boundary before becoming light and variable
once again overnight. Despite the light winds overnight, fog formation is
not forecast due to the dry air. However, localized visibility reductions
due to smoke from new or existing fires will be possible. Smoke dispersion
values will be poor to fair today and Monday.
