.DISCUSSION...

RH values will be on the increase into early next week as moisture
is pulled up from the south. Wetting rain chances remain likely
Monday into Tuesday as a cold front moves across the region. Drier
and more seasonable temperatures remain on track for the latter
half of the week. Good dispersion on Sunday turns poor Monday
due to less mixing in the boundary layer.
