.DISCUSSION...
Another day of west to southwest winds is expected Monday with
temperatures warming several more degrees into the mid to upper
60s. Deep mixing in excess of 3000 feet is expected Monday
afternoon which will help keep dew points mixed in the 30s with
resulting minRH values around 30 percent. Similarly dry conditions
are expected Tuesday, but a weak cold front will drop into the
region with southwest winds veering to northerly with its passage.
