.DISCUSSION...
A cold front approaches today and eventually moves across

near 5 to 15 mph. Some gusts up to near 20 mph are forecast,
especially along the coast, this afternoon into this evening.

shift to more northerly flow.

Minimum relative humidity is forecast to range from around 50 to
75 percent for both today and Thursday.
