.DISCUSSION...
High pressure persists over the area into the weekend. Air mass
remains dry with minimum RH both today and tomorrow expected to
drop to near 25 percent, although winds will be generally light.
As high pressure shifts southeast this weekend and a dry front
approaches the area, winds will increase out of the southwest and
a bit more moisture will prevent RH from dropping to critical values.
Dry weather expected to continue into next week with chances for
rain very low.
Fog potential tonight: Fog not expected.
