remain light, most likely under a quarter of an inch. Rain-free
weather returns Sunday, with growing support much of next week will
remain rain-free as well. Elevated relative humidity values today,
with low level moisture gradually mixing out as we head into next
week. However, latest trends continue to support RH values remaining
well above critical levels. Southeast winds today, largely remaining
below critical levels. Winds become northeast Sunday through
Tuesday, with some gusts likely nearing or exceeding critical levels
at times.
