DISCUSSION...
UPPER HIGH CENTERED OVER TEXAS WILL PROVIDE ABOVE NORMAL
TEMPERATURE READINGS THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. IT DOESNT APPEAR THAT
STORMS WOULD FIRE OVER THE AREA TODAY DUE TO A SUBSIDENCE INVERSION
AND THE STEERING FLOW OFF THE MOUNTAINS WOULD BE NOT AS GOOD.
PERHAPS A LITTLE BETTER CHANCE LATER SUNDAY BUT PRETTY MINIMAL.
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL ONCE AGAIN GET PRETTY LOW TODAY AND THIS
WILL BE COUPLED WITH STRONGER WIND FLOWS AS LOW PRESSURE SETS UP
OVER THE SOUTHEAST PLAINS OF COLORADO. SLIGHTLY LESS WIND
SUNDAY AFTERNOON BUT REMAINING LOWER HUMIDITY WITH SOME BREEZINESS.

NOTE: NO DIRECTION INDICATED ON THE WIND OB.
