If conditions become unrepresentative...contact the National Weather Service. .DISCUSSION...Terrain-based cumulus buildups are once again expected to develop this afternoon, with little more than an isolated, light afternoon shower as moisture is already in the process of exiting the area. Dry northwest flow will develop on Monday afternoon in the wake of a dry cold front that is forecast to pass through the area Monday morning. While little change in temperatures will move into the area in the wake of this frontal passage, RH is expected to drop a few percent for Monday, then level off through midweek before steadily dropping through the remainder of the workweek. The best overnight recovery is expected through Tuesday (greater than 80%), but overnight recovery will begin to lessen by midweek, dropping into the 60% range by late in the week, with min afternoon humidity dropping down to around 15-20%. Expect steadily warming temperatures through Friday as well. The forecast becomes less certain as we head into next weekend, when the possibility of grazing systems with an associated dry cold front may pass through the area. Another possibility is that high pressure ridging holds serve, maintaining dry but mild conditions. .TODAY... Sky/weather.........Mostly sunny (10-20 percent cloud cover).
