...Rain-free weather continues...

.DISCUSSION...Extended period of rain-free weather will continue,
with the next chance for rain likely not arriving until Tuesday
night and Wednesday. Seasonably mild temperatures and somewhat
limited low level moisture will allow relative humidity values to
dip near to a bit below 50 percent across most interior areas each
afternoon through Monday. Areas south of M-72 will likely fall to
near or below 40 percent this afternoon. Excellent relative
humidity recovery expected during the overnight hours. Well below
critical level winds will continue through Monday, with lake
breeze development possible during the afternoon hours.
