DISCUSSION...
THE SURFACE WIND FLOW WILL BE A LITTLE BIT MORE VARIABLE TODAY BUT
SHOULD BE A MORE DOMINANT NORTHWEST FLOW ON WEDNESDAY. THIS IS DUE
TO THE WINDS ALOFT INCREASING OVERNIGHT AND INTO WEDNESDAY. MID
LEVEL DRY INTRUSION WILL BE IN PLACE THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. THUS
HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD BE FAIRLY LOW DURING THE PEAK HEATING PERIOD
WHEN MIXING IS AT ITS HIGHEST. RISING VENTILATION RATES FOR
WEDNESDAY DUE TO THE STRENGTHENING WIND FLOW. LOOKS LIKE POORER
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES FOR TONIGHT.
