HIGH PRESSURE TO THE SOUTHEAST AND LOW PRESSURE TO THE NORTH
PROVIDES STEADY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW THROUGHOUT THE DAY ACROSS THE
BIG OAKS REFUGE. THIS SOUTHWEST FLOW PROVIDES MORE MOISTURE TO THE
REGION, SO MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES THIS AFTERNOON AND
EVENING WILL BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN YESTERDAY. WIND GUSTS LATE
THIS MORNING REACH 20 MPH WITH SOME OCCASIONAL GUSTS UP TO 25 MPH
POSSIBLE. WINDS GRADUALLY DECREASE THROUGH THE LATE AFTERNOON AND
INTO THE EVENING HOURS. CONFIDENCE IS HIGH THAT CONDITIONS WILL
REMAIN DRY TODAY.
