.DISCUSSION...A DRY SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT HAS SHIFTED THE
MONSOONAL MOISTURE EAST OF THE AREA TODAY. AS A RESULT MOSTLY
CLEAR SKIES AND EXCELLENT MIXING CAN BE EXPECTED. AS MIXING IS
REALIZED DURING THE HEATING OF THE DAY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL TREND
TO INCREASE LATE THIS MORNING WITH AFTERNOON GUSTS BECOMING AS
HIGH AS 25 MPH...THOUGH SPEEDS SHOULD PREVAIL IN THE 10 TO 20 MPH
RANGE. DIURNAL WINDS WILL DECREASE LATE THIS EVENING AND BECOME
PRIMARILY SLOPE FLOW DRIVEN REMAINING LIGHT. SUSPECT ENOUGH
GROUND MOISTURE EXISTS FOR DECENT RH RECOVERY TONIGHT...WITH
FRIDAY BEING SIMILAR REGARDING WINDS...THOUGH SLIGHTLY DRIER THAN
TODAY.

OUTLOOK...HIGH PRESSURE WILL ALLOW DRY CONDITIONS TO REMAIN IN
PLACE THROUGH SATURDAY. MONSOONAL MOISTURE WILL BEGIN TO CREEP
BACK IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST SUNDAY THROUGH TUESDAY BEFORE SHIFTING
EAST AGAIN MIDWEEK.
