...Breezy but More Humid Today...

.DISCUSSION...Winds will increase ahead of an approaching cold
front today, with the flow carrying higher dew points into the
region. This will result in higher minimum relative humidity for the
day compared to Friday. The cold front is expected to bring at least
scattered showers tonight along with a small chance for a gusty
thunderstorm. Cooler and much drier air then arrives behind the
front for Sunday and Monday, with minimum relative humidity dropping
to around 30 percent or less each day. It will also be rather breezy
ahead of the front today from the southwest and behind it on Sunday,
before the speeds drop off considerably for Monday as high pressure
builds in from the northwest.
