.DISCUSSION...
THE LAKE OF THE WOODS REGION IS RIGHT ON THE EDGE OF SOME THICKER
CLOUDS AND VIRGA THROUGH THE MORNING. THERE MAY EVEN BE A FEW
SPRINKLES FROM HALLOCK TO ROSEAU AND WARROAD. IF ANY RAIN ACTUALLY
REACHES THE GROUND IT WILL BE MINIMAL. APPEARS THAT THE CLOUDS
WILL DECREASE BY LATE MORNING GIVING SOME SUN BY AFTERNOON. THEREFORE
EXPECT THE HIGHEST RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES THIS MORNING WITH THE
LOWEST VALUES BY LATE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL START OUT THIS MORNING
FAIRLY VARIABLE BUT STAY CONSISTENTLY WEST BY AFTERNOON. DO NOT
EXPECT QUITE THE GUSTINESS THAT OCCURRED THE LAST TWO DAYS BUT
COULD STILL HAVE SOME AFTERNOON GUSTS UP AROUND 20 MPH.
