.DISCUSSION...

RH VALUES HAVE BOTTOMED OUT IN THE MID 20S TO LOWER 30S ACROSS THE
SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF CENTRAL ALABAMA THIS AFTERNOON. HOWEVER... DO
NOT EXPECT THAT ANY ONE LOCATION WILL HAVE FOUR CONTINUOUS HOURS OF
BELOW 25 PERCENT RH.

DEW POINTS ARE FORECAST TO RECOVER SLIGHTLY TOMORROW AS A SURFACE
HIGH PRESSURE AREA SHIFTS SLIGHTLY TO THE EAST. THEREFORE RH VALUES
SHOULD BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER TOMORROW AFTERNOON... AND NO FIRE WEATHER
PRODUCTS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR THURSDAY. RAIN CHANCES BEGIN TO RETURN
FRIDAY AHEAD OF THE NEXT UPPER LEVEL STORM SYSTEM THAT WILL PASS BY
TO OUR NORTH. THE BEST CHANCE FOR PRECIP AT THIS POINT LOOKS TO BE
SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY.
