Service.

.DISCUSSION...
Light winds and dry conditions expected today under high pressure. As
daytime temperatures warm into the upper 60s to low 70s, winds will
shift from light southwesterlies this morning to more northerly or
northwesterly this afternoon. Dry conditions are expected, although,
exactly how dry given the proximity to the lakeshore is a question.
Light northerly flow in the afternoon should limit mixing, which
should result in RH values staying above 35%. If flow remains
offshore, then RH in the low 30s or high 20s will be possible.

Mostly dry cold front moves through this evening, leaving behind
gusty northerly winds. RH recoveries overnight look good with cooler
conditions expected Wednesday.
