.DISCUSSION...

The area of high pressure over the western Atlantic, which has supported
breezy easterly winds over SFL the last several days, will remain in the
main driver of local weather through the end of the week. However, it
will continue to weaken today and Friday. Winds should remain E/SE
through the forecast period, but speeds will be a bit slower today and
Friday than the past few days.The seasonably dry airmass should remain
in place with minimum relative humidities in the mid to upper 40s with
generally good dispersions.
