or concerns with this forecast.

.DISCUSSION...High pressure passing east through the region
will bring continued dry weather through the day Saturday,
with low afternoon relative humidity, especially on Saturday.
Minimum relative humidity values on Saturday will drop to around
30 percent for the spot location. Sunshine today will allow for
fairly deep mixing and access to transport winds aloft. Increasing
clouds on Saturday will limit mixing, which will also limit
transport winds despite increasing flow aloft. Afternoon highs on
Saturday will top out in the mid to upper 40s.
