Please contact our office at 1-800-762-4363, if you have questions or concerns with this forecast. .DISCUSSION...Today will be sunny with highs reaching the upper 80s. Wind direction will be westerly for most of the day with sustained winds just under 10 mph. Wind gusts will be near 15 mph with min RH values sitting in the lower 20% range. Over the past couple of days, observed hourly dewpoints have been lower than forecasted and looking at model data for today, we could see good mixing allowing for dewpoints to be drier than anticipated again. Therefore, we have tried to account for this by lowering dewpoints by a couple of degrees for this afternoon which will drop RH's into the 20% range near 3 PM. .REST OF TODAY...
