.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather persists through at least next Tuesday, with
MinRH values in the 30-40% range each day. With high pressure 
dominating the weather pattern, winds will remain light through 
Tuesday. 
 
High temperatures are expected to remain in the 50s/60s through
Monday, with a warm up into the 60s/70s starting Tuesday, and
remaining this way through the end of the week. The cooler
temperatures are in part due to a passing cold front, but also 
due to heavy cloud cover that moves in later today and lingers 
through the weekend and most of next week. Despite this, the next 
chance of rain does not arrive until Wednesday afternoon at the 
earliest.
