.DISCUSSION...
THE LOCATION OF THE SPOT FORECAST SEEMS TO BE SHELTERED FROM THE
STRONGER WINDS THAT WILL BE SEEN UP ON THE MOUNTAIN RIDGES. HOWEVER
STRONG SURFACE HEATING WILL HELP OCCASIONALLY MIX SOME OF THE
STRONGER WINDS TO THE SURFACE CREATING GUSTY CONDITIONS. VERY DRY
AND UNSEASONABLY HOT CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW WITH WIND
SPEEDS SLIGHTLY HIGHER THAN SEEN TODAY.
