.DISCUSSION...
High pressure continues to dominate the weather producing rain-free
conditions through Thursday morning. Dry air will also remain over
the region today with some critical humidity values in the 20-30
percent range expected. The good news is that the winds will remain
below 15 mph, so a Red Flag Warning will not be needed. Humidity
values increase on Thursday ahead of a weak front that will move
north of the area producing a slight chance of a shower, primarily
over the Nature Coast. More dry air filters into the area on Friday
through Sunday, but wind speeds will remain low enough to preclude
the need for a Red Flag Warning over the weekend.
Fog potential...No significant fog is expected.
