DISCUSSION
CURRENTLY SEEING RH IMPROVE ACROSS THE AREA, WITH STEADY INCREASE IN
MOISTURE AND LIGHT WINDS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. COULD SEE OCCASIONAL S
BREEZE DURING THE FIRST PART OF THE NIGHT. EXPECT RH TO DROP INTO THE
LOWER 40S ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON ALONGSIDE WINDS OF 3-6MPH WITH GUSTS UP
TO 12MPH DURING PEAK HEATING IN THE AFTERNOON.
UNFORTUNATELY, NO RAIN IS EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE AREA FOR THE NEXT
SEVERAL DAYS. THERE'S A VERY SMALL POSSIBILITY THAT A SHOWER COULD MAKE
IT TO THE AREA ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON, BUT EVEN IF THIS HAPPENS, IT'LL
BE BRIEF AND PRODUCE VERY LITTLE ACCUMULATING RAINFALL.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS, CONTACT THE OFFICE AT ANY TIME AND A METEOROLOGIST
WILL ASSIST YOU.
