.DISCUSSION...
Another afternoon with near critical RH values is expected
today, luckily with fairly light easterly winds, though a
couple gusts to 15 mph could be possible as the inversion
breaks late this morning. Moisture steadily increasing
ahead of a front Sunday where a couple light showers could be
possible, but the front has trended mostly dry. Winds pivot a bit
more westerly ahead of the front Sunday, remaining light, before
moving back toward the northeast on Monday with some gusts to 15-20
mph possible. Monday is expected to be mostly dry before widespread rain
moves in overnight, continuing much of Tuesday before drying out
during the evening Tuesday. Confidence in 1"+ rainfall amounts remains
high with this event. High pressure then likely brings back drier conditions
for the mid week and into part of the late week.
Fog potential tonight: Fog not expected tonight.
