shifts east of the area. RH values will fall into the 25 to 30%
range this afternoon, perhaps slightly lower at times. 20ft winds
will be from the west to southwest at 5 to 7 mph with some gusts
up to 12 mph. Mixing heights improve to near 5000ft this afternoon
with transport winds from the southwest. Moisture will increase
tonight with RH recovering to around 95%. An upper-level system
will bring increasing rain chances and perhaps some thunderstorms

coverage through the afternoon. Winds tomorrow will take on more
of a southerly heading around 5 mph.
