.DISCUSSION...A LARGE HIGH PRESSURE AREA OVER THE WESTERN GREAT
LAKES AND DOWN ALONG THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER VALLEY IS PRODUCING
LIGHT WIND BUT DRY AIR AGAIN THIS MORNING. THE DRY AIRMASS WILL
MIX TODAY AND ALLOW DEW POINTS AND RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TO DROP
DRASTICALLY AGAIN...BUT THE NEAR CALM WINDS THIS MORNING WILL AT
MOST REMAIN LIGHT OUT OF THE EAST. A GRADUAL TURN TO SOUTHEAST
LIGHT WINDS ARE EXPECTED BY LATE AFTERNOON AND INTO TONIGHT. THIS
WILL ALSO START TO INCREASE DEW POINTS READINGS SLOWLY THE NEXT
FEW DAYS KEEPING HUMIDITY LEVELS FROM BOTTOMING OUT AS MUCH BY THE
END OF THE WEEK. CAUTION IS ADVISED TODAY THOUGH GIVEN DRY FUELS
AND DRY AIR.
