.DISCUSSION...
As surface high pressure shifts east of the area today, the
gradient has tightened, fostering south-southwest winds to gust
to around 15 to 25 mph. Temps have warmed well into the 60s
combined with dewpoints in the 20s to result in afternoon RH
values of 18 to 25 percent, causing some elevated fire danger.
Humidity will be slightly higher and winds a little weaker
tomorrow, but ventilation will be poor as mixing heights remain
shallow.
