.DISCUSSION...
Gentle northwest winds are expected today, becoming light and
variable overnight. Deeper mixing today will bring 50s dewpoints
to the surface, though the minimum RH will only bottom out between
40-50%. Mostly dry weather will continue the next few days with
our next chance for precipitation returning on Wednesday with a
cold front passage.
