.DISCUSSION...
...RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS TO FALL TO 20 TO 25 PERCENT EAST OF THE
HUDSON VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON...

MOST AREAS FAILED TO REACH THE QUARTER INCH RAINFALL THRESHOLD. OUR
DUAL POL RADAR TOTAL RAINFALL ESTIMATE DID INDICATE THAT PORTIONS
OF SOUTHWESTERN HERKIMER COUNTY AND A SMALL STRIP IN EXTREME SW
FULTON/MONTGOMERY AND CENTRAL ULSTER COUNTIES RECEIVED WELL OVER A
QUARTER OF AN INCH. MOST OTHER AREAS HAD A TENTH OF AN INCH OR
LESS.

DRY AIR WILL WEDGE IN FROM THE EAST...WITH SOME CLEARING...WHICH WILL
LEAD TO LOW HUMIDITY LEVELS UNDER 30 PERCENT MAINLY EAST OF THE HUDSON
VALLEY DURING THE AFTERNOON. THE WIND WILL BE LIGHTER THAN
YESTERDAY...GENERALLY 5 TO 15 MPH FROM A SOUTHEASTERLY DIRECTION.

CLEAR CALM AND CHILLY TONIGHT LEADING TO A NEARLY FULL RECOVERY IN
MOST PLACES...PROMOTING THE FORMATION OF A LITTLE DEW OR EVEN FROST.

TOMORROW WITH LOTS OF SUNSHINE...RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES LOOK TO
DROP TO BELOW 30 PERCENT REGION WIDE DURING THE AFTERNOON. HOWEVER...THE
WIND WILL BE LIGHT OUT OF THE SOUTH 5 TO 10 MPH.

IT LOOKS AS IF WE ARE HEADED INTO AN EXTENDED DRY PERIOD. THERE IS
NO CLEAR INDICATION WHEN OUR NEXT CHANCE OF SIGNIFICANT WETTING RAIN
WILL TAKE PLACE. FORTUNATELY...WE DO NOT SEE ANY SIGNIFICANT WIND
EVENTS AT THIS TIME ALTHOUGH IT MIGHT TURN A LITTLE BREEZY ON FRIDAY
AS WIND FROM A ATLANTIC LOW PRESSURE BRUSH OUR REGION BEFORE MOVING
BY.
