.DISCUSSION... A low pressure system will move into the southern
Great Lakes region bringing a 45-50kt jet over the Ohio Valley.
With full sunshine, good mixing, and steep low-level lapse rates,
winds will be sustained 20-25mph and gusting up to 45mph from the
southwest. Temperatures are expected to be in the mid to upper
60s, which will put minimum RH values in the 25-35% range for the
afternoon. The cold front will push through in the evening hours,
which will shift the winds to the northwest and allow winds to
relax. Saturday remains dry with minimum RH in the 28-38% range.
