VFR WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE PERIOD. WINDS WILL FOLLOW FAIRLY
NORMAL DIURNAL PATTERNS AT KDEN AND KAPA TURNING FROM ENE-SE-SSW
THROUGH 06Z TONIGHT, AND THEN HOLDING S-SW THROUGH ABOUT 15Z.
THEN EXPECT A PERIOD OF VRB WINDS 15Z-18Z TUESDAY BEFORE AN E-SE
COMPONENT DEVELOPS 18Z-20Z, AND SLOWLY INCREASES TO ~12KTS ON
AVERAGE AFTER 22Z. THE MAIN DIFFERENCES FOR KBJC WILL BE THAT
WINDS START THIS PERIOD NORTHERLY, BEFORE A RETURN TO SW FLOW BY
03Z-05Z TONIGHT.

LOW CLOUDS WILL ENTER SOUTHEASTERN NEW MEXICO AS MOISTURE PUSHES
