SOUTHERLY WINDS TO RETURN. MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
ALONG WITH SLIGHTLY WARMER TEMPERATURES IN THE UPPER 50S TO NEAR
60. MINIMUM RH'S ARE FORECAST TO BE AROUND 40 PERCENT OR SLIGHTLY
LOWER IN THE AFTERNOON. TRANSPORT WINDS INCREASE TO BETWEEN 10
AND 15 MPH, BUT MIXING HEIGHTS REMAIN FAIRLY LOW (GENERALLY UNDER
