.DISCUSSION...Clear skies this morning may give way to some high
clouds in the afternoon. A few sprinkles are possible in the
afternoon, but no thunderstorms are expected at this time. Dry weather is
expected tonight and Thursday. Winds are expected to be out of the west
to northwest becoming fairly light overnight. Gusts to 20 mph are possible
this afternoon with slightly lighter winds Thursday. Temperatures
are expected to be warm once again today with highs in the low
80s, tomorrow slightly cooler temperatures are expected. Tonight
is tricky for the RH forecast. It looks like the site will be
below the inversion and the humidity will recover to 100 percent.
However, there is a small chance the site will be above the
inversion for part or all of the night and it will remain drier
than expected.
