.DISCUSSION...

Breezy northwest winds will continue into today, becoming gusty by
late morning. Gusts of 20 to 25 mph are expected (slightly higher
near coastal areas). Temperatures will warm, however moisture
from a larger system to the east will keep afternoon relative
humidity values at or above 45%. The driest spot will be over
Benzie, Manistee, and Wexford counties today as drier air from the
west will move into the central part of the L.P. Partly cloudy
skies will hang around for much of the day, clearing from west to
east late this afternoon. Winds become calm tonight.
