.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE BUILDING TODAY. AS IT DOES, WINDS WILL CONTINUE
TO BE OUT OF THE NORTH THROUGH THE DAY. BUT, THEY ARE EXPECTED TO
REMAIN BELOW CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. RELATIVE HUMIDITY WILL BE THE BIG
CONCERN TODAY, WITH VALUES DROPPING INTO THE MID 20S. TONIGHT, WINDS
WILL BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE AD TEMPERATURES WILL DROP INTO THE 30S
ONCE AGAIN, POSSIBLY EVEN COLDER THAN THIS MORNING. SURFACE MOISTURE
WILL MOVE BACK INTO THE AREA TOMORROW AND RELATIVE HUMIDITY IS
EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE MID TO UPPER 30S. ALSO, WINDS ARE EXPECTED
TO SHIFT TO THE EAST TOMORROW AT AROUND 10 TO 15 MPH. WITH THE DRY AIR
IN PLACE, CURRENTLY NOT EXPECTING ANY FOG FORMATION TONIGHT.
