.DISCUSSION...

Northerly winds will remain elevated in the morning as low
pressure slowly exits and high pressure begins to move into the
region. Expect the low clouds to dissipate by late morning. Dry air,
mixing up to around 4500 ft, and temperatures in the lower 60s
will allow for RH values to drop to around 36 percent. If
temperatures warm up earlier or go higher than forecast, then the
RH value may drop to 33 percent. Drier and cooler air will arrive
early this evening along a lake breeze.
