DISCUSSION...
DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE. PERIODS OF HIGHER CIRRUS CLOUD COVER WILL
MOVE OVER THE AREA BUT THE POTENTIAL FOR A LITTLE THICKER CLOUD
COVER WILL BE POSSIBLE LATER ON WEDNESDAY AS A TROUGH APPROACHES.
THE WIND FLOW IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE SLIGHTLY ON WEDNESDAY DUE
TO THIS TROUGH APPROACH. ALTHOUGH HUMIDITY VALUES WILL ALSO RISE.
IT IS STILL A LITTLE UNCERTAIN AS TO HOW MUCH THE HUMIDITY WILL
RISE ON WEDNESDAY.

NOTE: ELEVATION LISTED IS QUITE A RANGE. THIS SPOT REFLECTS AN
AVERAGE FOR THE AREA BUT NOTE THAT DIFFERENCES IN TEMPERATURE AND
HUMIDITY BETWEEN THE LOWEST AND HIGHEST ELEVATION CAN RANGE BETWEEN
8 TO 10 DEGREES/PERCENT. KEEP THAT IN MIND. ESPECIALLY IN THE SPRUCE
FORESTS WHICH ARE MUCH MORE SHADED AND SHELTERED.
