.DISCUSSION...
No rain is forecast for at least the next 7 days. There will be
multiple chances for freezing conditions and frost through the
weekend. A cold front will move through the region this evening,
resulting in gusty northwest winds and increased humidity Friday.
Thereafter, minimum afternoon relative humidity will generally be
35-45%, if not lower, for the first half of next week.
Unfortunately, winds will be weak resulting in generally poor
dispersion.
