West winds of 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 30 to 35 mph are forecast for the entire day Minimum relative humidity values of 40 to 50 percent are also expected, possibly drier in northern Saint Louis county where overnight showers and storms only brough a few hundreths of an inch of rain. Higher rainfall amounts did fall in northern Cook and Lake Counties on the order of a quarter to half inch, but skies will partially clear out quickly today leading to drying condiitons.
