A dry airmass will move overhead tonight and Sunday, leading to
low humidity values Sunday afternoon. Near critical RHs will be
seen near coastal locations, with critical values over interior
locations. Winds remain light and will be driven by a lake breeze
in the afternoon hours. Coastal locations and adjacent areas will
see humidity values rise after the lake breeze moves through.
Mixing heights will be high and skies will be sunny, leading to a
more unstable airmass. Clouds will build in Sunday evening ahead
of the next system.
