.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will remain over the area today
with minimum RH values of 30 to 35 percent expected. Winds will
be light from the southeast. Humidity values will increase above
40 percent on Thursday and remain above that level through early
next week as the ridge of high pressure shifts to the east.
Wetting rains could also impact the area on Thursday and Friday
as a fast moving system slides to the north of the region.
Otherwise, rainfall chances will be limited through early next
week.
