.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE WILL BRING WARMER AND DRIER CONDITIONS
TO WESTERN SISKIYOU COUNTY TODAY THROUGH THURSDAY. WINDS WILL BE
LIGHT AND MAINLY SLOPE DRIVEN. 20 FT WINDS WILL BE MAINLY FROM THE

BUT ALSO WITH LIGHT SPEED. THURSDAY WILL BE THE WARMEST AND DRIEST
DAY WITH HUMIDITY POSSIBLY BRIEFLY COMING DOWN TO THE UPPER TEENS.
