.Discussion...
A period of below-normal rain chances will continue through the weekend
in the wake of a cold front. MinRH values are forecast to fall into the
65-75 percent range in spots along the Island Chain today, then down into
the 60-70 percent range on Sunday due to the drier airmass. 20ft winds
will blow from the north around 5 to 8 mph today, becoming light and variable
at times during the afternoon. A wet pattern and south to southeasterly flow
is forecast to return by early next week in response to another deepening trough
axis over the Gulf.
