.DISCUSSION...
Today will feature low humidity with values dropping to around 27
percent this afternoon. The wind will be light and variable early
this morning but then become northerly, veering through the day to
east this afternoon. The weak pressure gradient may lead to the
wind being variable at times. A surface based inversion early
this morning will lead to poor smoke dispersal which will only
improve to fair this afternoon due to weaker winds through the
column.
There will be a chance for rain on Friday along with a few
thunderstorms.
