20-FOOT WIND FORECAST OF `LIGHT WINDS` INDICATES MAINLY
TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
.DISCUSSION...Afternoon temperatures near to slightly above
normal will persist rest of this week. Min RH values will remain
in the single digits in the valleys and in the teens for the
mountains. 20-foot winds will follow the typical afternoon
breeziness this week. Wednesday and Thursday may be the breezier
days due to a weak passing system. Mountains may see daily
afternoon cloud build ups, especially on Thursday to give slight
chances for a dry storm in the White Mountains. By the weekend,
above normal temperatures can be expected with stronger afternoon
breezes.
