.DISCUSSION...High pressure builds over the area today, bringing warming
temperatures and dry conditions. Skies will be clear under the 
influence of high pressure alongside light, diurnally driven winds
across the landscape. Cool temperatures and modest overnight 
humidity recovery will give way to warmer and drier conditions on 
Saturday as high pressure remains in place. That said, clearing 
will be less than ideal due to low mixing heights and relatively 
slow transport winds.
