 .DISCUSSION...
 Another disturbance will drop south across the area tonight. This 
 will provide light rain showers to parts of the lower elevations, 
 with rain and snow showers expected across parts of the northern 
 mountains. A widespread wetting rain is not anticipated with this 
 system. 
 
 Otherwise, a very dry air mass will continue to take hold across the 
 area for Monday and Tuesday in particular, with afternoon relative 
 humidities expected to bottom out in the 20 to 30 percent range area 
 wide, with pockets of teens possible. Winds will also be gusty at 
 times during the afternoon hours. 
 
 Wednesday brings a disturbance that may provide additional rainfall 
 amounts to the area, along with higher relative humidity. However a 
 widespread wetting rain is not anticipated. Drier, warmer weather 
 comes back for Thursday and Friday as well as lower RH values and 
 elevated wind.
