DISCUSSION
INCREASING NORTHERLY WINDS IN THE WAKE OF TODAY'S FRONT WILL
USHER IN DRIER - AND EVENTUALLY - A COLDER AIR MASS. THIS
AFTERNOON, HOWEVER, INCREASED SUN WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
RELATIVELY WARM, WITH HIGHS IN THE 70S TO AROUND 80 AND RH
BOTTOMING OUT GENERALLY IN THE 30 TO 40 PERCENT RANGE.
COLDER AIR ARRIVES TONIGHT, BRINGING US BACK TO MORE TYPICAL
TEMPERATURES BY SUNDAY MORNING, SETTING US UP FOR A COOLER BUT
MUCH DRIER AFTERNOON, ALONG WITH ONLY MODESTLY WEAKER WINDS. THIS
LOOKS LIKE AN AFTERNOON WITH TEMPERATURES ONLY IN 60S ACROSS THE
AREA, BUT STILL WITH RH FALLING BELOW 25 PERCENT. PEAK NORTHERLY
WINDS LOOK TO BE AROUND 10 MPH WITH GUSTS TO NEAR 20 MPH, BUT WITH
A GENERAL TREND OF SLOW WEAKENING THROUGH THE DAY. DRY CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO PERSIST THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF THE NEW WEEK.
