.DISCUSSION...
...GUSTY WINDS TO AROUND 25 MPH FROM THE SOUTH TODAY...

RH VALUES ACTUALLY WERE VERY LOW IN MANY SPOTS THIS MORNING DUE TO A
BREEZE AND CLOUDS PREVENTING TEMPERATURES FROM FALLING MUCH. AS
LIGHT SHOWERS AND INCREASING MOISTURE WORKS INTO TODAY WE ARE FAIRLY
CONFIDENT DEWPOINTS WILL RISE TO AROUND 40 DEGREES. WITH LOWER
TEMPERATURES THAN SUNDAY...RH VALUES SHOULD REMAIN AT OR ABOVE 30
PERCENT ACROSS MOST AREAS. A SOUTH WIND WILL BE 10 TO 15 MPH WITH
GUSTS AROUND 25 MPH. THERE SHOULD BE PLENTY OF CLOUDS AND SCATTERED
LIGHT SHOWERS. WHILE MOST AREAS WILL REMAIN WELL BELOW A QUARTER OF
INCH...THERE WILL BE SOME NOTABLE "WETTING" IN SPOTS.

A SOUTH BREEZE WILL DIMINISH TONIGHT BUT NOT GO COMPLETELY CALM. THE
WIND WILL DIP TO 5 TO 10 MPH. DEWPOINTS LOOK TO DROP BACK INTO THE
40S...OVERNIGHT LOWS GENERALLY IN THE 40S. THIS MEANS ONCE AGAIN
THERE WILL ONLY BE A PARTIAL RECOVER. HOWEVER THERE WILL BE
ADDITIONAL LIGHT SHOWERS OR PERHAPS PATCHY DRIZZLE.

TUESDAY COULD SEE RESIDUAL LIGHT SHOWERS OR PATCHY DRIZZLE
EARLY...THEN PARTIAL CLEARING. RH VALUES LOOK TO DROP TO AROUND 30
PERCENT DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE WIND WILL BE SOUTH OR SOUTHEAST 5
TO 15 MPH.

IT LOOKS LIKE DRY WEATHER WITH A LITTLE ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES
WILL PREVAIL FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE WEEK. AT THIS POINT...IT DOES
NOT LOOK AS IF WE WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT WIND ISSUES...BUT OF COURSE
WILL MONITOR THE SITUATION TO SEE IF THAT CHANGES.
