.Discussion...
Overall weather conditions will improve over the course of today
as Hurricane Helene continues to move farther north and away from
our area. Prevailing winds out of the south will slowly taper off
as well as gusts, but rain chances will remain elevated for today
and tonight due to an abundance of moisture aloft. Minimum RH
values will remain near 70 percent during the day and recover to
near 90 percent overnight.
