.DISCUSSION...
Another upper level trough will bring cool conditions and
precipitation, mainly to the mountains through Tuesday. Then,
a warming and drying trend is in store through the weekend, as a
ridge builds over the area. High temperatures will be 10 to 20
degrees above normal over the weekend, and with those temperatures
will come lowering RH values.
***Thunderstorms imply strong gusty winds***
***Winds are 20 foot 10 minute averages***
