.DISCUSSION...
Dry weather will continue through this weekend and into late next
week, with gradually warmer daytime temperatures. Northeasterly
winds will remain light this afternoon following the passage of
another decaying cold front, with winds veering eastward late
tonight and becoming calm. The persistent high pressure aloft will
maintain a strong temperature inversion (or a cap) that will shunt
mixing heights to 1.0-1.5-km AGL across the lowlands and higher
elevations. The net result will be RH minima bottoming out in the
lower 30-percent range each afternoon through early next week, and
will otherwise vary depending on locale and related elevation amidst
excellent overnight recovery. Calm winds are also forecast Saturday
and beyond, with a southeasterly direction Saturday afternoon.
