.DISCUSSION...Another mild, dry, and occasionally gusty day is in store.
Temperatures are expected to surge to near or at record temps today in
the upper 70s to near 80. Deep mixing will once again allow for a dry
air mix down event with minimum relative humidity values dropping into
the 20 to 30 percent range. Some teens are certainly possible if full
mixing is achieved. One slightly limiting factor today will be some upper
sky cover mid morning through the afternoon, however shouldn`t be enough
to offset similar conditions to what we`ve seen the past couple of days.
Winds will occasionally gust to 20 to 25 mph. Overall, dispersion should
be in the excellent category by afternoon given the deep mixing and
good transport winds.
