.DISCUSSION...
As high pressure dominates the region into next week we will
temperatures continue to rise and rain will be very difficult to
come by. This will also lead winds being highly diurnal in nature
with generally calm to light and variable winds overnight and
winds of 5-10 mph out of the southwest to southeast during the
day. No concerns with humidity values today as we should still
see min RH values remain about 40% today but Friday and through
the weekend as we warm up a little more some locations could drop
into the mid 30% range.
