The morning will start out clear, but will become increasingly cloudy as a low pressure approaches the Northland. Ahead of this system, however, we are still under a high pressure and dry conditions will precede the low system. Minimum RHs this afternoon will be in the mid 20s. Winds, however will be on the lighter side today, remaining below 10 mph. While a lake breeze reaching the burn site today is not expected, it cannot be ruled out that a lake breeze develops late this afternoon - especially since surface winds will be weaker today. There is a slight chance for some sprinkles later this afternoon, but it may fall as virga to begin before finally reaching the ground this evening as the system battles the dry air. Most of the rain will fall overnight, but some light rain showers will persist into Monday morning. This will be a relatively wet day (RHs above 50%) with light winds. .REST OF TODAY...
