.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT FROM TEXAS TO NORTHERN MEXICO WILL KEEP A DRY
SOUTHWEST FLOW ACROSS THE AREA TODAY AND TUESDAY. THE WEST END OF
THAT HIGH WILL WEAKEN TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY AS A LOW PRESSURE TROUGH
DEVELOPS ALONG THE WEST COAST. THIS WILL ALLOW A MORE SOUTHERLY FLOW
WITH INCREASING MOISTURE AND THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WEDNESDAY.
THAT LOW PRESSURE ALOFT MAY SHIFT MORE TO THE SOUTHWEST THURSDAY AND
FRIDAY...REDUCING AVAILABLE MOISTURE OVER THE AREA AND DIMINISHING
THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS FOR THURSDAY AND FRIDAY. HUMIDITY WILL
BE IN THE MID TO UPPER TEENS TODAY AND THE LOW TO MID TEENS TUESDAY.
SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE STRONG ENOUGH TO MEET CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS TODAY OR TUESDAY.
