.DISCUSSION...
High pressure building today will keep temperatures mild, skies
clear, and lower relative humidities. This afternoon we will see
RH values near critical threshold, but it will be accompanied with
light winds and temperatures in the 50s. Wednesday warmer air will
move into the region, with temperatures warming into the 60s.
While RH values will once again be near critical threshold, they
could see recovery in the evening as clouds begin to move into the
area. These clouds will help to moderate the RH values on Thursday
even with warming temperatures.
