.DISCUSSION...

Minimum RH values drop to the low to mid 30s by the late morning
and early afternoon hours and remain as such through the early
evening. Start to see improvements to the RH values once the sun
sets. Winds are light and variable as of this current hour, but
that will change by the late morning when they become sustained
out of the northwest at 5 to 10mph. Around 5 to 7pm winds start to
shift toward the west northwest at 5 mph and go light and
variable in the overnight hours. Otherwise, we expect high level
smoke to continue to move through the area today and throughout
the weekend. Near surface smoke moves in Saturday morning and last
through the Sunday. Temperatures today will be in the upper 70s
with partly sunny skies.
