.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather continues today and the week ahead. A cold front
moves through today bringing northerly winds that reinforce the
cooler temperatures. A warming trend occurs later in the week
ahead as more southerly flow returns. Dispersion will be poor to
fair as decent mixing is somewhat offset by lighter winds. RHs of
25-35% become commonplace for the workweek.
