DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE WILL PROVIDE A COUPLE DRY DAYS ACROSS THE NORTHERN
PLAINS. EXPECT SUNNY SKIES TODAY AND TOMORROW WITH TEMPERATURES 10
TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE NORMAL. SOME MIXING DURING THE LATE MORNING
THROUGH AFTERNOON OF TODAY AND TUESDAY SHOULD DRAW DOWN SOME DRIER
AIR ALOFT...AND DEVELOP AFTERNOON MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES
IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND WESTERLY
TODAY. AS FOR TUESDAY...EXPECT BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS ALONG THE
RED RIVER VALLEY...WHERE WINDS COULD GUST TO 20 TO 25 MPH.
INCREASING CLOUD COVER ON WEDNESDAY SHOULD KEEP RH LEVELS SLIGHTLY
MORE ELEVATED. A WEAK COLD FRONT COULD DEVELOP LIGHT PRECIPITATION
ACROSS THE LAKE AND WOODS REGION OF MINNESOTA WEDNESDAY MORNING.
THURSDAY AND THURSDAY NIGHT WILL BE CLOUDY WITH THE BEST CHANCE OF
THE WEEK FOR PRECIPITATION WHEN A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM ADVANCES INTO
THE AREA.
