.DISCUSSION...

High pressure building over the region will continue to bring dry
conditions, warm temperatures, and light northerly winds through
the first half of this week. Overnight humidity recovery for most
valleys will remain fair with limited recovery for mid slope areas. A
trough pushing into the Pacific Northwest will bring enhanced
southwest breezes to the region on Wednesday.

Note:  Thunderstorms imply gusty and erratic winds.
Note:  Mixing Heights are in feet above ground level of the valley floors.
Note:  Please see operating plan for detailed zone descriptions
