Dry conditions are expected again today with dew points near 30 degrees. With temperatures warming into the lower 70s, relative humidity values are expected to fall to 20-25 percent this afternoon. South to southwest winds of 15-20 mph gusting to 20-25 mph are expected from late morning through sunset.
