.DISCUSSION...
Humidities in the 20-30% range will continue this afternoon before
temperatures begin to cool off by 7 PM bringing RHs back to
60-70%. West-northwest winds will continue to be breezy between
10-15 mph with gusts up to 25 mph before abating to calm and more
variable conditions by 9 PM. A few spots may be approaching or
briefly exceeding critical thresholds, but the extent of these
areas will be small. Similar conditions to today are expected
Friday morning with RHs in the 25-40% range with southerly gusts
