DISCUSSION
TODAY WILL BE SUNNY WITH HIGHS REACHING THE UPPER
80S. WIND DIRECTION WILL BE WESTERLY FOR MOST OF THE DAY WITH
SUSTAINED WINDS JUST UNDER 10 MPH. WIND GUSTS WILL BE NEAR 15 MPH
WITH MIN RH VALUES SITTING IN THE LOWER 20% RANGE. OVER THE PAST
COUPLE OF DAYS, OBSERVED HOURLY DEWPOINTS HAVE BEEN LOWER THAN
FORECASTED AND LOOKING AT MODEL DATA FOR TODAY, WE COULD SEE GOOD
MIXING ALLOWING FOR DEWPOINTS TO BE DRIER THAN ANTICIPATED AGAIN.
THEREFORE, WE HAVE TRIED TO ACCOUNT FOR THIS BY LOWERING
DEWPOINTS BY A COUPLE OF DEGREES FOR THIS AFTERNOON WHICH WILL
DROP RH'S INTO THE 20% RANGE NEAR 3 PM.
