.DISCUSSION...Temperatures today will remain in the low to mid
80s, but dew points will begin to decrease. In the afternoon,
efficient mixing will bring down some drier air and dew points in
the low 50s. Winds will gust up to 25mph at the surface. Will see
excellent mixing and dispersion today.
This trend will continue Monday through at least Thursday. Each
afternoon, ample mixing will bring down drier air and surface dew
points in the low 40s. Some areas will likely see dew points as
low as the mid-to-upper 30s. Very abnormal for this time of year.
Surface winds will also gust up to 20mph. Transport winds will
remain steady out of the northwest. Therefore, excellent mixing
and dispersion will continue through the week.
High pressure over the region will keep dry weather and mostly
sunny skies through the week. We are next expecting any rain
through at least Friday.
