.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns not expected today. Expecting southerly flow
near 10-15mph for most of the region, although gusts to 20 mph can`t
be ruled out in parts of the east and Keweenaw. Daytime temperatures
peak near 60, except mid 60s west and Keweenaw. With daytime mixing,
RH values look to bottom out in the mid 30s in the driest locations
of the interior west. Cold front moves into the region tonight,
which will make for a breezy night, but also bring widespread rain
tonight and Friday.
