DISCUSSION...
LOOK FOR TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS DURING THE MORNING WITH MORE OF A
SOUTHERLY FLOW DURING THE AFTERNOON. SOME BREEZINESS EXPECTED
WITHIN THE CANOPIES DURING THE AFTERNOON BUT STRONGER BREEZINESS
SHOULD OCCUR ON WEDNESDAY AS THE FLOW ALOFT INCREASES. THE MOST
SIGNIFICANT TREND WILL BE RISING HUMIDITIES. BUT IN THE NEAR
TERM...HUMIDITY READINGS WILL GET QUITE LOW TODAY BEFORE SOME CLOUD
COVER DEVELOPS OVER THE MOUNTAIN RANGE. EVENTUALLY ENOUGH MOISTURE
SHOULD PUSH UP THE SLOPE AND CREATE SOME THUNDERSTORMS CHANCES
OVERNIGHT. BETTER CHANCE FOR STORMS...SOME OF WHICH WILL BE OF THE
WETTER VARIETY ON WEDNESDAY. HAINES OF 6 FOR TODAY DUE TO THE
UNSTABLE NATURE TO THE AIRMASS. GOOD TO EXCELLENT HUMIDITY
RECOVERIES EXPECTED OVERNIGHT AT THIS TIME.
