(Now to tie the two discussions together) ((Saving the best for last)) The last of the precipitation is moving out of the area early this morning and dry conditions will settle into the region through the day today. The main concern for today will revolve around our westerly winds. Surface observations are already showing an increase in winds across portions of east Texas this morning with westerly winds around 10 to 15 mph. These winds will gradually spread and increase across the region through the day today, becoming quite gusty by this afternoon with wind gusts up to 20 mph possible. The stronger winds are expected north of Sabine County this afternoon, but nonetheless, gusty conditions are expected. Winds will begin to weaken late this afternoon/evening and should be lighter for Saturday. Dry conditions will prevail through the weekend before our next chance of showers and thunderstorms move through the area on Monday. Afternoon temperatures today will reach the mid 60s for Sabine County, while afternoon highs on Saturday will reach the upper 60s to lower 70s. Min RH values will be around the 50 percent mark for today, while Saturday will see min RH values in the mid 20 to lower 30 percent range. Some patchy fog could be possible Friday night into Saturday morning, however, confidence is low at this point but can't be ruled out. .REST OF TODAY...
