DISCUSSION
WINDS ARE CURRENTLY LIGHT FROM THE SOUTHEAST AT
ABOUT 5 MPH. AS TODAY'S MOUNTAIN WAVE CONTINUES TO RETREAT BACK UP
THE FOOTHILLS, THESE LIGHT SOUTHEASTERLIES SHOULD HOLD ON FOR THE
NEXT FEW HOURS (UNTIL AROUND 11 PM), BEFORE TRANSITIONING TO THE
WSW TO W. CAN'T RULE OUT A FEW WESTERLY GUSTS (10-15 MPH)SNEAKING
DOWN THERE FOR THE NEXT FEW HOURS, BUT THE BRUNT OF THE WINDS IS
BEHIND US FOR TODAY. ONCE WINDS TURN TO THE WSW TO W, GUSTS
BETWEEN 12-15 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE
NOT EXPECTED TO SEE SUBSTANTIAL RECOVERIES OVERNIGHT TONIGHT,
FORECAST TO REACH AROUND 25-30%.
CLOUD COVER WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES A FEW DEGREES COOLER ON
TUESDAY, AND WINDS WILL BE SIGNIFICANTLY WEAKER THAN WHAT WAS SEEN
TODAY. SHOULD SEE A GRADUAL TURN TO THE SOUTH THROUGH THE EARLY
AFTERNOON, WITH A FEW HOURS OF LIGHT AND VARIABLE WINDS POSSIBLE
AFTER THE DRAINAGE (W TO WSW) WINDS BEGIN TO WEAKEN BY LATE
MORNING. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO 15-20%
FOR THE AFTERNOON.
