.DISCUSSION...

SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST WINDS AT 12 TO 15 MPH WILL BECOME MORE
SOUTHERLY THROUGH THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON HOURS AND
INCREASE TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 30 MPH.

AS WE MIX DEEPER BY NOON AND THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON HOURS THE
DEWPOINTS MAY DROP 3 TO 4 DEGREES INTO THE MID TO UPPER 40S.
HOWEVER...THE SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL BE TRYING TO TRANSPORT SOME
MOISTURE NORTH...SO I DON'T EXPECT DEWPOINTS TO DROP MUCH LOWER
THAN THE MID 40S. HIGHS TODAY SHOULD REACH AROUND 80 DEGREES.

SKIES ARE SUNNY BUT WE MAY SEE SOME BOUNDARY LAYER CUMULUS CLOUDS
DEVELOP DURING THE AFTERNOON.

GIVE US A CALL FOR ANY UPDATES.
