.DISCUSSION...CLOUDY SKIES AND COOL TEMPERATURES WILL DOMINATE THE
WEATHER MOST OF TODAY AS AN AREA OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS STAGNANT
OVER THE NORTHLAND. THERE COULD BE ENOUGH MIXING TO SCATTER OUT
THE LOW CLOUDS LATE THIS AFTERNOON...BUT THE BULK OF THE CLEARING
WILL NOT COME UNTIL TONIGHT WHEN A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE PUSHES
THE LOW TO THE EAST AND DRIER AIR FILTERS IN. DRY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED ON FRIDAY WITH LOWER RH VALUES AND SLIGHTLY STRONGER
SOUTHEAST WINDS.
