.DISCUSSION...

Another warm day expected today with southerly surface winds
picking up to around 10 mph by mid to late morning with some
gusts up to 20 mph through the afternoon. A relatively dry
air mass remains in place with min RH values expected to
be around 30-35 percent. Some isolated showers are possible
this evening ahead of an approaching frontal boundary but
any rainfall accumulation should be light around a trace
to a few hundredths of an inch.

Widespread high clouds expected through the day with high
temperatures in the mid 80s. A 25-30 knot low level jet
may help keep winds up tonight and limit fog potential.
