.DISCUSSION...
VERY LITTLE DAY TO DAY CHANGE IS EXPECTED THROUGH THE END OF THE WEEK.
A FEW STREAMER SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY THIS MORNING. ANOTHER
WEAK DISTURBANCE COULD BRING A FEW SHOWERS TO THE NORTHERN HALF
OF THE REGION ON FRIDAY BUT CAPPING WILL LIMIT COVERAGE. SOUTHERLY
WINDS SHOULD BEGIN A GRADUAL DECREASE INTO MIDWEEK AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES.

COMMENTS:
WINDS WILL BE A BIT LIGHTER TODAY BUT SHOULD STILL RANGE BETWEEN 10 AND
15 MPH. MIXING HEIGHTS WILL EXCEED 5000 FEET. THE 500 METER BURN OFF
TEMPERATURE IS BETWEEN 74 AND 76 DEGREES. COULD BE SOME PATCHY FOG EARLY
THIS MORNING BUT IT SHOULD BURN OFF QUICKLY. SOUTH WINDS SHOULD BECOME
SOUTHEAST LATER THIS AFTERNOON.
