.DISCUSSION...

Relatively light easterly winds this morning will increase
gradually through the morning with afternoon gusts to around 15
mph at times. While wind direction will be predominantly
easterly/east-northeast, they will take on a more southeasterly
direction by mid afternoon. Afternoon minimum relative humidity
values will fall into the mid to upper 40 percent range. There is
a small chance of a light shower or sprinkle this evening but
wetting rains are unlikely.

Much warmer temperatures are expected for Friday, with
strengthening southwesterly winds gusting 30 to 40 mph during the
afternoon. Although low level moisture will be increasing, with
the very warm temperatures afternoon RH will fall as low as 30-35
percent with near critical fire weather conditions.
