.DISCUSSION...
Dry this evening through Saturday. RHs go down into the mid-30s
and low-40s on during the day Friday. Northwesterly gusty winds
this afternoon into evening, but relax overnight and shift to the
southwest by Friday. Wetting rains are possible Sunday night
through the middle of the week, but confidence is low depending on
how close low pressure to south of the region can make it.
Afternoon RHs through the weekend will be 30-45 percent, with good
recovery during the nights.
