APX AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY

.DISCUSSION...
Expect another afternoon with breezy northwest winds, 20 ft gusts of 
20 to 25 mph on average. Deep afternoon mixing, 4.5 kft across 
northwest lower, 5.5 to 6.5 kft across northeast lower, will promote 
modest afternoon drying. Thus, min humidity will drop in the upper 
30s to mid 40s generally near and south of M-72. A few showers will 
be possible as well today, mainly north of M-32. Precipitation free 
weather returns on Friday, with lighter winds but relative 
humidities dropping into the 30s across a good chunk of northern 
lower Michigan.
