Northeast winds will continue today with some gustiness expected

control. A more substantial south wind may develop next week.
Afternoon relative humidity values are expected to drop to the
30-40% range this afternoon and again Friday afternoon. Moisture
will increase over the weekend and especially into next week,
bumping relative humidity up as well. No rain is anticipated into
the middle of next week.
