.DISCUSSION...
A stray sprinkle is possible this afternoon; otherwise, mainly dry
weather conditions will prevail through the weekend. The next
chance of a wetting rain does not arrive until early next week.
Despite deep layer mixing, smoke dispersion will remain poor due
to light transport winds from the south. Humidity levels will fall
into the 35 to 45% range each afternoon.
