.DISCUSSION...
Dry and mild weather is expected to continue across the region for
today. Afternoon RH values will be as low as 45 to 50 percent for
much of the region, although values will be slightly higher over
the Adirondacks and Upper Hudson Valley due to more cloud cover
further north. Southerly winds will be around 5 to 10 mph. RH looks to
recover back above 90 percent tonight with dew and fog formation.
On Wednesday, dry weather is expected once again. With higher
dewpoints around, RH values will only be as low as 45 to 55
percent across the region with continued light southerly winds.
Most areas will see a chance for some rain showers on Thursday,
although total rainfall will likely be under a quarter of an inch
for much of the region. Some more showers are possible for Friday
into Saturday, mainly for eastern parts of the region.
