APX AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY

.DISCUSSION...

Despite the unseasonably cool temperatures the next few days, lack 
of deeper low level moisture will help drive afternoon relative 
humidity values to below 40 percent across some interior areas this 
afternoon...and again Friday afternoon. Even a bit drier conditions 
for Saturday afternoon, with much more widespread sub 40 percent 
relative humidity values expected...with even some areas likely 
dropping below 30 percent. A few light showers (mixed with snow?) 
today and again Friday, but with minimal rain amounts (most areas 
and much of the time will remain rain-free). Northwest winds will 
continue through Saturday, with afternoon gusts at times 
approaching/exceeding critical levels.
