.DISCUSSION...
Dry and pleasant weather is expected through Labor Day weekend as
high pressure ridging stays over the Great Lakes region. While
temperatures will gradually warm to the 70s and lower 80s today to
Labor Day, light winds and RHs above 40% will keep fire weather
concerns low. We may see some afternoon rain showers on Labor Day
over the west (and Sunday too, but the chances are lower).
