.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions persist through early next week with good RH
recovery expected. Temperatures trend above normal, but dewpoints
slightly trend up as well. Still, this will push RH values below
50% during the day today and Monday, with good recoveries
expected at night. Winds will generally be light with high
pressure dominating the weather pattern, but southerly winds will
increase Tuesday as a cold front approaches, bringing a chance of
wetting rains Tuesday night into early Wednesday. Cooler
temperatures and dry weather are expected behind the front for
Thursday and Friday.
