TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.DISCUSSION...Afternoon temperatures near to slightly above
normal will persist into next week. Min RH values will remain in
the single digits in the valleys, with values generally in the
teens for the mountains. Expect locally breezy west to northwest
winds 10-20 mph this afternoon with gusts to 25-30 mph. These
winds combined with already low relative humidity in place may
result in brief near critical fire weather conditions. Otherwise,
typical afternoon breeziness will persist into next week each
afternoon due to daytime heating with winds becoming light and
variable overnight.
