DISCUSSION
TODAY BEGINS WITH LOW LEVEL STRATUS ALONG WITH LIGHT MIST BENEATH
THE STRATUS. LIGHT MIST LOOKS TO CONTINUE THROUGH AT LEAST MID
MORNING BEFORE THE STRATUS BEGINS TO LIFT. AT THIS TIME, THE STRATUS
LOOKS TO PERSIST INTO THE AFTERNOON HOURS BUT SHOULD BREAK UP ENOUGH
TO ALLOW FOR SOME SUNSHINE TO RETURN. HIGH TEMPERATURES COULD WARM
TO THE MID TO UPPER 70S THOUGH THIS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE EXTENT
OF SUNSHINE THAT IS ABLE TO RETURN. HUMIDITY WILL BE HIGH REGARDLESS
WITH HUMIDITY VALUES ONLY FALLING TO AROUND 60%. MIXED LAYERS WILL
BE RELATIVELY SHALLOW, ONLY RISING TO BETWEEN 2,000FT TO 3,000FT.
WITH A SHALLOW MIXED LAYER IN PLACE, WINDS WILL REMAIN LIGHT AT 5-10
MPH WITH AN OCCASIONAL GUST UP TO ABOUT 10-15 MPH. WIND DIRECTION
BEGINS TODAY OUT OF THE NORTHEAST BUT WILL TURN EASTERLY THIS
AFTERNOON.
