.DISCUSSION...
Mainly dry conditions are expected today through Friday with 
temperatures 10 to 15 degrees above normal. Winds today may gust
to near 20 mph at times, but lighter in general compared to
yesterday. Afternoon humidity minimums will continue to favor
readings between 20 and 30 percent, so until we receive a 
wetting rain, expect good to excellent drying conditions during 
the day and only fair recovery at night.

The last week of April is looking wetter. A series of fronts 
are expected to bring some needed moisture to the area. The next
notable chance of rain is Saturday.
