.Discussion...
High pressure over the western North Atlantic will continue to
promote mainly gentle southeast breezes today. As the high drifts
further out into the western North Atlantic through Saturday,
expect continued diminishing breezes. Moisture and instability
will remain elevated today leading to chance of showers and a
slight chance of thunder. Decreasing rain chances are expected
tonight and Saturday as drier air filters in the area. Min RH
values today will be in the mid 60s percent today and Saturday
with max RH recovering to the upper 80s percent overnight.
