.DISCUSSION...

...Dry weather expected to continue through the weekend...

A large area of high pressure will remain over the eastern part
of the country before slowly sliding off the coast. This will
bring us pleasant fall weather through the weekend. Our chances
for rain will then start to increase on Monday as a strong cold
front approaches from the west.

Minimum relative humidity values will be near 30 percent through
the end of the week before moisture starts to increase over the 
weekend. Light transport winds and a relatively shallow mixing height
will create poor dispersion and ventilation conditions through Friday.
