.DISCUSSION...
Little change in humidity expected from day to day throughout the
forecast period. Min RH values should be around 50%. With ample
low level moisture and generally lackluster winds, no critical
fire weather concerns expected through the week.

REMARKS...

1. Once the gradient winds kick in just after sunrise, the flow will
be primarily out of the southeast, so the direction will stay the same
throughout the day. The high-res models also suggest RH will remain the
same as well, so not expecting a seabreeze, just steady southeast flow.

2. Winds will keep fog from developing both this morning and tomorrow
morning. The overnight inversion should dissipate by 9am this morning
and it will not return until around 8pm shortly after the sun sets. Then
it will be similar to this morning where that inversion should go away
by 9am.

3. There`s a 20% chance of showers today mainly in the afternoon and
evening.

4. Tidal info for the closest site (Rigolets) is low tide at 1030am
this morning at a stage of 0.6 and high tide is a stage of 0.7 at
339pm this afternoon. Then, it gets to low tide at 1145pm tonight at
a stage of 0.1.
