.DISCUSSION...
Tranquil weather prevails this weekend with temperatures trending
below normal on Sunday. Minimum RH values fall into the lower 40s
today and mid 30s on Sunday. Dispersion improves on Sunday due to
better mixing with northerly transport winds above 10 kts. Mostly
dry weather conditions are expected this weekend into next week.
