.DISCUSSION...

TRANSPORT WINDS WILL BE OUT OF THE SOUTH TODAY...UP TO 7 MPH
DURING THE AFTERNOON WHEN RH VALUES ARE AT THEIR LOWEST.
THERE IS A SLIGHTLY BETTER CHANCE OF FOG AFTER MIDNIGHT
THROUGH SUNRISE FRIDAY AS MOISTURE SLOWLY INCREASES...BUT
COVERAGE SHOULD BE LIMITED TO VALLEYS AND LOW LYING AREAS.

DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE BEGINNING OF NEXT WEEK.
WEAK SOUTHERLY FLOW WILL SLOWLY INCREASE MOISTURE ACROSS THE
AREA. WITH MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES THOUGH...AFTERNOON RH
VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE 20S IN SEVERAL LOCATIONS TODAY AND
FRIDAY. DUE TO STRONG RIDGING ACROSS THE AREA...BOTH TRANSPORT
AND 20 FT WINDS WILL REMAIN BELOW 10 MPH.
