.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather persists today and into the work week. Temperatures this
afternoon peak in the upper 70s to lower 80s across much of the UP
and in the mid/upper 70s near Lake Superior. RH falls to around 35-
40% for most of the area, but the interior-western UP may see values
approaching 30%. Expect light west to SW winds, with lake breezes
developing off of the Great Lakes during the afternoon. Monday will
be almost a repeat of today, but a more moist airmass working in
will result in minimum relative humidity falling only as far as the
mid 40s.
