.DISCUSSION...
Dry and pleasant conditions continue through at least the mid to
late week. Max temperatures and moisture gradually increase each
day this week. Light winds out of the northwest continue into the
afternoon before becoming light and variable overnight. Winds
start to become a bit more easterly Tuesday, and then
southeasterly to southerly by mid week. Minimum RH values this
afternoon are sitting in the 30% range. Values should increase as
moisture slowly returns to 30-40% Tuesday. Deeper moisture moves
in later this week and into the weekend where rain chances could
move back in as well.
Fog potential: Fog is not expected tonight.
