DISCUSSION...
A WEAK TROUGH WILL BE CROSSING OVER THE CENTRAL AND NORTHERN ROCKIES
TODAY. THIS TROUGH WILL ENHANCE THE WINDS DURING THE AFTERNOON AND
CREATE SOME BREEZINESS. THIS WILL BE COMBINED WITH VERY LOW
HUMIDITIES DUE TO THE PRESENCE OF A STRONG MID LEVEL DRY SLOT.
THE ATMOSPHERE WILL ALSO BE UNSTABLE AND PROVIDE A SOLID HIGH
HAINES 6 THIS AFTERNOON. POOR HUMIDITY RECOVERY IS EXPECTED
TONIGHT. MUCH LIGHTER WINDS FOR THURSDAY WITH SLIGHTLY HIGHER
HUMIDITY BUT STILL REMAINING PRETTY LOW.
