DISCUSSION
SURFACE HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE REGION;
HOWEVER, AS A SERIES OF DISTURBANCES MOVE FROM THE MID-MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY INTO THE OHIO VALLEY; INCREASING CHANCES OF SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS WILL EXIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE WEEK. WHILE THESE
FEATURES EXIST TO OUR NORTHWEST, THE FORECAST AREA WILL BE IN THE
WARM SECTOR LEADING TO STRONG SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS. WHILE
IN THE WARM SECTOR, TEMPERATURES ARE FORECAST TO CLIMB INTO THE
LOWER 80S BUT WITH MOISTURE ADVECTION OCCURRING WITH SOUTHERLY
FLOW, MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REMAIN ELEVATED AROUND
42 PERCENT. WINDS, RIDGETOP AND TRANSPORT WINDS WILL REMAIN
SOUTHERLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY WITH 20 FOOT WINDS RANGING FROM 5 TO
9 MPH, RIDGETOP WINDS RANGING 3 TO 12 MPH AND TRANSPORT WINDS
INCREASING IN THE AFTERNOON TO 20 TO 25 MPH. WITH THE HIGHER
