DISCUSSION
CALM WINDS AND TEMPERATURES AROUND FREEZING EARLY THIS MORNING
ARE A SOMEWHAT MISLEADING INDICATOR OF CONDITIONS FOR TODAY -
EXPECT SOUTHERLY WINDS TO PICK UP THROUGH THE MORNING, REACHING
INTO THE 5-10 MPH RANGE AFTER 1000 OR SO, BECOMING CONSISTENTLY
AROUND 10 MPH WITH GUSTS INTO THE LOWER 20S FOR THE AFTERNOON.
WHILE SOUTHERLY WINDS GENERALLY MAKE FOR INCREASING HUMIDITY, THE
IMPACTS OF THIS WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO BE SEEN THIS FAR INLAND.
WITH THE VERY DRY AIRMASS THAT HAS BEEN IN PLACE RECENTLY, LOOK
FOR RH TO FALL TO AROUND 25 PERCENT AT THE VERY LEAST WHILE
TEMPERATURES RISE TO AROUND OR JUST OVER 70 DEGREES. ASSUMING THE
SOUTHERLY WINDS DO EFFECTIVELY BRING MOISTURE IN THIS AFTERNOON,
WE COULD SEE RH AT THEIR LOWEST VALUES EARLY IN THE AFTERNOON
RATHER THAN LATE, AND NUDGE UP INTO THE UPPER 20S LATER IN THE
DAY. A LESS LIKELY, BUT STILL PLAUSIBLE ALTERNATE SCENARIO IS THAT
MOISTURE IS LATER TO ARRIVE, AND RH FALLS CLOSER TO 20 PERCENT
BEFORE BOTTOMING OUT.
WINDS DO NOT LOOK TO WEAKEN MUCH OVERNIGHT, AND SHOULD RETURN
RIGHT BACK TO SIMILAR LEVELS TOMORROW, MEANING THERE WILL NOT
REALLY BE A TIME FOR WINDS TO GO SLACK AS THEY USUALLY DO AT
NIGHT. HOWEVER, THIS WILL CONTINUE TO PUSH MOISTURE INTO THE AREA,
AND OVERNIGHT RECOVERY SHOULD FINALLY BE NEAR FULL TONIGHT, WITH
MINIMUM RH TOMORROW MORE IN THE LOWER TO MIDDLE 40S.
