 .DISCUSSION...
 Dry weather is expected today. Minimum relative humidity values this 
 afternoon will generally bottom out between the mid 20s to mid 30s. 
 Breezy conditions will develop during the day, with 15 to 25 mph 
 gusts from the southwest expected.
 
 Well above normal temperatures are expected starting this afternoon 
 and continuing through much of next week, with even some record high 
 temperatures possible by midweek. The next chance for rain is during 
 the day on Monday. Rainfall should generally be on the light side, 
 but a wetting rain could occur in a few locations. Additional daily 
 chances for mainly afternoon rain showers and thunderstorms are 
 expected throughout the work week, but major relief from the dryness 
 is not expected on anything more than an extremely localized basis.
