.DISCUSSION...

Most of the weekend will be dry before wetting rain chances
increase Sunday night into early next week. Northeast to east
transport winds above 10 kts and mixing heights between 3-4 kft
AGL will support fair to good dispersion. RH values will be the
lowest Saturday, mixing down to around 30-35% by midday.
