.DISCUSSION...INCREASING CLOUDS AND RH VALUES ARE ON TAP TODAY. SOUTHERLY

BETWEEN HIGH PRESSURE DEPARTING TO THE EAST AND A SURFACE FRONT DROPPING

RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES FOR TODAY.  I WILL RELAY YOUR CONCERN TO THE

SAY THAT IF RH OBSERVATIONS DEVIATE FROM THE FORECAST BELOW...THEY ARE
LIKELY GOING TO BE LOWER RATHER THAN HIGHER THAN WHAT IS FORECAST.
