.DISCUSSION...FRONT IS SET TO PASS YOUR AREA BY NOON...SO
EXPECT INCREASING SOUTHWEST WINDS THROUGH THAT TIME EVEN WITH YOUR
EASTERLY EXPOSURE. NEARBY RAWS ARE ALREADY SHOWING THE SOUTHWEST
FLOW. THE WINDS WILL THEN SHIFT TO WEST-NORTHWEST AFTER THE FRONT. YOU
COULD GET A FEW LIGHT SHOWERS WITH FRONT BUT IT'S ONLY A SMALL
CHANCE. TEMPERATURES WILL BE VERY SLOW TO CLIMB AFTER FRONT
PASSES. BETTER CHANCE FOR PRECIPITATION TONIGHT AND EARLY
WEDNESDAY.
