 .DISCUSSION...
 Skies will attempt to clear this afternoon. However, a few light 
 showers will still be possible, mainly along the eastern mountains, 
 as the weakening low pressure system exits to our northeast. Areas 
 of dense fog or abundant low stratus may develop overnight into 
 Thursday morning. 
 
 Drier, quiet and warmer weather returns Friday, and will continue 
 through the weekend with a ridge of high pressure taking control. 
 Relative humidity percentages will once again fall into the 20s and 
 30s starting Friday, and lasting through the weekend. Recovery looks 
 possible next week starting Monday with chances for precipitation 
 returning courtesy of some disturbances and a strong, midweek cold 
 front.
