.DISCUSSION...
Temperatures remain warm, in the 80s for much of the coast and
interior over the weekend, but not as hot and humid as the last
week. Good mixing and dry air aloft will promote min RH reaching
the 35 to 45 percent range over much of the interior again on
Saturday, but strong recovery is expected at night. Wetting rains
do not appear likely through early next week with the next chance
for widespread rainfall toward the middle of next week.
