.DISCUSSION...
UNSEASONABLY WARM WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH TUESDAY. LOOK FOR
WARM AFTERNOON HIGHS RANGING BETWEEN 10 AND 20 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL
FOR EARLY NOVEMBER. NEARLY EVERY PIECE OF GUIDANCE SUGGESTS
DEWPOINTS WILL CLIMB INTO THE LOWER 40S THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WOULD
HELP KEEP MIN RH VALUES BETWEEN 40 AND 50 PERCENT. HOWEVER...WITH
A LITTLE MIXING THIS AFTERNOON...WOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF SOME
LOCATIONS DROP INTO THE 30S FOR RH.
