.DISCUSSION...
The morning will begin with light north to northeasterly winds
generally less than 10 mph. Very little relative humidity recovery
is expected overnight with dry air continuing to filter into the
area following a cold front. Morning relative humidity values are
expected to top out only around 60 percent. Winds will increase
after sunrise but are only expected to peak around 10 mph late
morning. These winds are anticipated to decrease through the
afternoon and shift to the east. Further veering of the winds to
the southeast and south is expected to occur Thursday evening.
Temperatures on Thursday will be a few degrees cooler but with
very dry air in place, relative humidity values will drop into the
mid to upper teens.
