.DISCUSSION...
MODERATE EASTERLY TRADE FLOW WILL PERSIST AGAIN TODAY. THE
EASTERLY FLOW WILL GIVE WAY TO UPSLOPE WINDS BY LATE MORNING WITH
VARIABLE GUSTS THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL
BOTTOM OUT THIS AFTERNOON AND WEDNESDAY BETWEEN 30 AND 40 PERCENT
ONCE AGAIN. THE TRADE WINDS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF WEAKENING WHICH
WILL ALLOW FOR SOMEWHAT LIGHTER EASTERLY FLOW TOMORROW. GUSTY
UPSLOPE WINDS FROM THE WEST TO SOUTHWEST WILL PREVAIL ON SITE. A
SLIGHT INCREASE IN LOW LEVEL MOISTURE IS EXPECTED FROM THE EAST
OVERNIGHT...HOWEVER WILL NOT PRODUCE ANY APPRECIABLE RAINFALL ON
SITE.
