.DISCUSSION...
Today, southerly winds increase to 10-15 mph with gusts of 20-30
mph this afternoon. RH values are expected to drop as low as 35-45%.

RH values will begin to rise this evening as a line of showers
bring a widespread wetting rain to the region. Friday remains
breezy with some wind gusts of 20 to possibly 30 mph, but minimum
RH values will be higher, generally above 50-55%. Another widespread
round of showers and storms Saturday should further reduce
fire weather concerns for the second half of the weekend into early
