THIS NEW AIRMASS REGIME, WARM TEMPERATURES IN THE MID-80S WITH
INCREASING SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AND LOWERED MINIMUM AFTERNOON
RELATIVE HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY.
SOUTHWEST WINDS ARE FORECAST TO INCREASE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
HOURS WITH GUSTS RANGING FROM 15 TO 20 MPH. AS A WEAK COLD FRONT
APPROACHES FROM THE WEST, THOSE WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE IN
SPEED OVERNIGHT. VERY LITTLE MOISTURE RECOVERY IS ANTICIPATED AS
THE DAY COMES TO AN END AND THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD APPROACHES. A
FAIRLY SIMILAR DAY IS EXPECTED FOR MONDAY BUT WITH THE FRONT
