.DISCUSSION...Dry and sunny to mostly sunny conditions expected
Tuesday, with afternoon minimum relative humidity expected to
fall to around 20% or so. Winds pick up out of the west to
northwest, increasing to around 7-15 mph in the afternoon with
gusts to around 20 mph. Winds quickly decrease Tuesday evening
into the overnight hours, becoming light and variable to light
easterly and down drainage. A similar pattern to winds is then
expected for Wednesday with winds shifting west to northwest by
late morning, and increasing into the afternoon. Maximum winds are
expected to be higher Wednesday, with sustained values more in
the 10-20 mph range and gusts up to around 30 mph. Continued
drying conditions are also expected with afternoon minimum
relative humidity values dropping a few percent or so.

Looking at more of an extended forecast, the general pattern
looks to favor increasing influence of a building ridge of high
pressure. This will pattern will offer little to no chance of
wetting rainfall in addition to further warming and continued day
to day minimum relative humidity values likely in the teens.
