A PROLONGED STRETCH OF DRY WEATHER WILL PERSIST THROUGH AT LEAST
THE NEXT 7 DAYS AS HIGH PRESSURE REMAINS IN CONTROL. A NOR'EASTER
SLOWLY TRACKING WELL OFFSHORE WILL SUPPORT ELEVATED NORTHERLY
WINDS TODAY WITH GUSTS REACHING 20-25 MPH AT TIMES LATE THIS
MORNING INTO THIS AFTERNOON. NORTHERLY WIND GUSTS TURN A BIT
BREEZY ONCE AGAIN THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY MORNING REACHING 15-25MPH

STARVED COLD FRONT SWINGS THROUGH THE REGION. WINDS DIMINISH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON INTO THE WEEKEND AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS
OVERHEAD. MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH VALUES LOWER TO BETWEEN 35-45
PERCENT TODAY AND TOMORROW WITH RECOVERY TO NEAR 100 PERCENT BOTH
