.DISCUSSION...
Abundant moisture ahead of and in the vicinity of a cold front that
is expected to move through the area late tonight into Monday will
keep humidity values above critical levels through Monday. Scattered
showers and isolated storms can be expected late this evening and
continuing through Monday afternoon. Gusty winds ahead of and in the
vicinity of the front will produce some high dispersions on Monday.
The front moves south and east of the area by Monday evening and
high pressure builds in from the west bringing rain-free conditions
back to the area for the the middle to latter part of next week.
Some critical humidity values expected on Tuesday and Wednesday, but
it doesn`t appear that the winds will be above 15 mph, so no Red
Flag Warning should be needed.
Fog potential...Some patchy fog possible early Monday morning.
