.DISCUSSION...
WINDS WILL INCREASE FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK... AND MOISTURE WILL
FLOW NORTH FROM THE GULF OF MEXICO... ALTHOUGH THE COOL HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE GULF WILL SIGNIFICANTLY LIMIT THE AMOUNT OF
MOISTURE THAT IS DRAWN NORTH. ON MONDAY... IT APPEARS THAT A
DRYLINE MAY SWEEP EAST ACROSS THE WESTERN HALF OF OKLAHOMA AND
WESTERN NORTH TEXAS. IF THIS HAPPENS... WILDFIRE POTENTIAL WILL
BE QUITE HIGH WEST OF THE DRYLINE.
