.DISCUSSION...

A warm front lifting across the region on Friday will bring higher
humidity into the region the next couple of days. A light shower
can`t be ruled out Friday morning and again Saturday night, but
chances for measurable rain are very low until a system Monday
night arrives. A more significant system with heavy rainfall
potential may impact our region during the latter part of next
week. Mixing heights reach to around 3000 feet the next two days,
which combined with a decent southwesterly transport wind, will
result in fair to good smoke dispersion. Lower RH`s return Sunday
with minimum values falling into the 20-30% range.
