WEATHER:

Today winds from the north to northwest are anticipated, with the potential for locally strong gusts, particularly along ridges and in areas characterized by channeled terrain. Relative humidity, which remained low last night is expected to decrease further today with minimum relative humidity levels projected to be in the mid to upper teens for both today and Friday. Additionally, poor overnight recovery of humidity is expected along slopes and ridges tonight.
