.DISCUSSION...
A dry frontal passage will shift winds from southwest to northwest
this afternoon (if it hasn`t happened yet, it will before 4pm).
Gusts will reach 25-30 mph on the exposed slopes and ridges, but
may be a bit less along Pryor Creek once the wind shifts. Winds
will decrease quickly this evening and tonight`s RH recovery will
be fair. Look for a shift to north-northeast winds on Tuesday,
along with higher humidity.
