.DISCUSSION...Fair weather and light winds will prevail the next
48-hours. An upper-level ridge will persist overhead early into
the weekend, though weakening with the ridge highly likely to
break down late this weekend or Monday. A weak surface pressure
pattern at the surface will favor and promote light diurnal and
terrain driven winds through Saturday. Light breezes will occur
in tandem with deep mixing heights tomorrow and this weekend.
