.DISCUSSION...

Much of the forecast below looks on track for Monday, except RH
values may end up lower. Some model guidance is showing better
mixing, which results in minimum RH values around 20% instead of
the forecast value of 26%. Models suggest around a 40% chance of
these lower values occurring. Winds could also be 2-3mph higher
in the afternoon.

It`s worth noting that RH recovery Monday night is quite poor,
with the max RH being 50-60% and breezy southwest winds.
