.DISCUSSION...
WEAK SURFACE TROF PASSED THROUGH THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND WILL
PROVIDE FOR LIGHT NORTHWEST WINDS THIS MORNING. THE WINDS WILL
BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE AROUND MID-DAY AND TURN TO THE SOUTH
AROUND SUNSET. ANOTHER SURFACE TROF WILL TAKE SHAPE TONIGHT OVER
THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS AND THIS WILL INCREASE THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT OVER THE REGION ON SATURDAY. THIS WILL MAKE FOR A BREEZY
DAY FOR SATURDAY AS WINDS BY AFTERNOON WILL BE IN THE 15 TO 20 MPH
RANGE. NO RAIN AND VERY LITTLE IN THE WAY OF CLOUD COVER IS
EXPECTED THROUGH SATURDAY. THE NEXT CHANCE FOR ANY MOISTURE COMES
ON SUNDAY WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE SURFACE TROF BUT LOW LEVEL
MOISTURE APPEARS TO BE VERY LIMITED AND MAY JUST PRODUCE CLOUDY
SKIES AND SOME PATCHY FOG AND DRIZZLE. OTHERWISE...EXPECT DRY
CONDITIONS.
