.DISCUSSION...High pressure over the Desert Southwest will keep
the area under a weak northwesterly flow aloft. Winds will be
generally terrain driven through the period, upslope through the
afternoon and downslope overnight, but peaks and ridges may see
light north to northwesterly breezes. An inversion right at the
8000 to 9000 ft level from the high pressure is limiting mixing
and keeping the clearing index at 110 or less through Monday.
