.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will move east of the area today, with a continued
pattern of low relative humidity and light winds. Minimum RH
values will be between 35 and 45 percent north of the Interstate
10/12 corridor today, and 45 to 50 percent south of there. On
Friday, minimum RH values will be about 10 percent higher than
today. Moisture levels will continue to increase over the weekend
ahead of a cold front that is expected to move across the area on
Sunday. Showers and thunderstorms will be possible ahead of the
front late Saturday into Sunday, but most areas probably will not
see much more than about one half inch of rain.
