Low pressure is moving eastward early this morning with drier air
settling over the area. Winds will be out of the NW, shifting
more westerly late this afternoon, although remaining mostly
light. Minimum RH dropping to near or slightly below 30 percent
both today and Wednesday. As winds increase out of the southwest
for the second half of the week, expect increasing low level
moisture, although rain chances will remain low until this weekend
when a cold front pushes through the area.
Fog Potential Tonight: Fog not expected.
