.DISCUSSION...
A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY PUSH SOUTHWARD ALONG THE
TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO STATE LINE. THIS WILL RESULT IN A GRADUAL TRANSITION
OF SURFACE FLOW FROM SOUTHWESTERLY TO MORE EASTERLY THROUGHOUT THE DAY.
HOWEVER...WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN GENERALLY UNDER 10 MPH THROUGHOUT
THE DAY...WITH A FEW BRIEF PERIODS OF 10 TO 15 MPH POSSIBLE. ALSO...AN
UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DROP OUT OF THE FOUR CORNERS TODAY BRINGING SOME
INCREASED UPPER LEVEL MOISTURE TO THE AREA. THIS WILL RESULT IN AN
INCREASE IN CLOUD COVER THROUGHOUT THE DAYTIME HOURS...HELPING KEEP
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AT OR ABOVE 25 PERCENT THROUGH MOST OF THE DAY.
