.DISCUSSION...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE IN THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE WILL DELIVER SOME
WARMING TODAY AS WELL AS WEAK TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS. THE RIDGE WILL
SLIP EAST OF THE PROJECT ON FRIDAY...ALLOWING SOME UPPER LEVEL
MOISTURE TO CREEP IN FROM THE SOUTH. THIS MOISTURE COULD TRIGGER A
FEW SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS IN THE AFTERNOON...BUT THE MAIN RISK WILL
BE WEST OF THE PROJECT.
