WEAK COLD FRONT TONIGHT FOR SHIFTING WINDS

HIGH CLOUDS WILL BEGIN INCREASING TODAY AS A COLD FRONT APPROACHES
THE REGION.  EXPECT WINDS TO COME AROUND TO THE SOUTHWEST TODAY
BEFORE SWITCHING TO THE NORTHWEST OVERNIGHT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE
SLIGHTLY WARMER TODAY WITH LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY. THE COLD FRONT
WILL SLIDE THROUGH THE BURN AREA OVERNIGHT AND WILL BRING MOSTLY
CLOUDY SKIES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN STRENGTHEN OVER THE WEEKEND
PROMOTING A WARMING TREND. WE WILL NEED TO KEEP AN EYE ON THE
NORTHEAST WINDS PICKING UP ON SATURDAY AND SUNDAY.
