.DISCUSSION...
Warmer and drier weather is expected over the next few days as

rise into the mid/upper 70s, with min RH values steadily
decreasing into the upper 30s going into Saturday. No rain showers
or thunderstorms are expected through Saturday, but a slight
chance for showers and isolated thunderstorms is possible on
Sunday. Winds will remain light and out of the east/northeast
through Saturday afternoon, before shifting towards the
south/southwest Saturday night into Sunday. Little to no change in
the weather pattern is expected until early next week when a low
pressure system in the Gulf of Alaska initiates southeast flow
over the Interior.
