DISCUSSION
WE'LL SEE ANOTHER DRY DAY WITH TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
STILL FAIRLY TOLERABLE FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR. HIGHS SHOULD PEAK IN THE
LOW 80S FOR MOST WITH MINIMUM RH VALUES GENERALLY IN THE 38-48% RANGE.
SURFACE WINDS WILL BE LIGHT AND VARIABLE, CONTRIBUTING TO OVERALL POOR
DISPERSION. SHOWER AND STORM CHANCES START TO PICK UP THROUGH THE WEEKEND,
ESPECIALLY THE SECOND HALF OF THE WEEKEND. IN ADDITION, HEAT AND HUMIDITY
WILL ALSO INCREASE LATE WEEKEND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
