.DISCUSSION...
A cold front is moving through the area bringing light rain and
gusty winds. These rain showers are not expected to produce
wetting rains. North to Northwest winds will continue to gust up
to 30 mph. These winds will weaken overnight tonight as the cold
front moves to the southeast. After the cold front moves out of
the area, expect clearer skies, colder temperatures, and drier
conditions. Minimum RH values will bottom out near critical
threshold tomorrow and could continue into Wednesday. While
temperatures rise on Wednesday, increasing cloud cover starting
Wednesday night should help to moderate the minimum RH on
Thursday.
