.DISCUSSION...
THE WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO BE DRIER AND WARMER THE NEXT COUPLE OF
DAYS. WINDS WILL BE PRIMARILY CONTROLLED BY TERRAIN WITH UPSLOPE
AND DOWNSLOPE TENDENCIES. WINDS WILL BECOME A LITTLE ERRATIC IN
THE AFTERNOON AS THE SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT TRIES TO PUSH THE
WIND TO THE EAST...BUT THE DIURNAL WIND WANTS TO GO UPSLOPE. THIS
WILL BE THE CASE TODAY AND MONDAY. THERE WILL BE A SLIGHT CHANCE
OF A SHOWER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...BUT THE RAIN SHOULD BE
LIMITED. TWH
