DISCUSSION...
CONTINUED DRIER CONDITIONS TODAY BUT IT APPEARS THAT THERE WILL BE
ENOUGH MOISTURE IN THE ATMOSPHERE TO PRODUCE A FEW BUILDUPS. A
LITTLE MORE MOISTURE ON WEDNESDAY SO EXPECT A LITTLE MORE CLOUD
COVER DURING THE AFTERNOON THEN. THIS WILL HELP RAISE THE HUMIDITY
SOME. WINDS OVERALL WILL BE LIGHT IN THE MID LEVELS OF THE
ATMOSPHERE. THIS MEANS THAT WINDS WILL BE MORE TERRAIN DOMINATED
DURING THE AFTERNOONS.
