DISCUSSION
THOUGH EARLY MORNING CONDITIONS FEATURE CHILLY TEMPS AND NEARLY
CALM WINDS, THAT SHOULD SHIFT THROUGH THE MORNING AS SOUTHERLY
WINDS KICK IN AND STRENGTHEN THROUGH THE DAY. BY THIS AFTERNOON,
LOOK FOR WINDS TO TOP OUT CLOSE TO 15 MPH, WITH GUSTS OF 20-25
MPH. THOUGH STRONG SOUTHERLY WINDS TYPICALLY MEAN MOISTURE, IT
WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO MODIFY THE VERY DRY AIRMASS WE'VE HAD IN
PLACE RECENTLY. AS A RESULT, MINIMUM RH VALUES THIS AFTERNOON
STILL LOOK TO BE DOWN AROUND 30 PERCENT WHILE TEMPERATURES RISE
INTO THE LOWER HALF OF THE 70S.
RATHER THAN WEAKEN OVERNIGHT, THE BREEZY SOUTHERLIES LOOK TO
STICK WITH US THROUGH THE NIGHT, PROVIDING A BIT OF A MIXED
BLESSING. IT WILL REMOVE THE USUAL OVERNIGHT BREAK WITH LIGHTER
WINDS TYPICALLY SEEN, BUT WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO BRING IN MORE
HUMID AIR THROUGH THE NIGHT. TOMORROW LOOKS EVEN A LITTLE
BREEZIER, WITH SUSTAINED WINDS PUSHING ABOVE 15 MPH ALONG WITH
GUSTS TO NEAR 30 MPH, WHILE TEMPERATURES LOOK TO BREAK INTO THE
LOW 80S. FORTUNATELY, THE CONTINUED INFLUX OF MOISTURE WILL HELP
RH STAY HIGHER EVEN DESPITE THE WARMER CONDITIONS. LOOK FOR
AFTERNOON MINIMUMS CLOSE TO 45 PERCENT.
