A COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO MAKE ITS WAY THROUGH THE AREA THIS
MORNING, SHIFTING WINDS FROM SOUTHWESTERLY TO WESTERLY AT 8-12
MPH. THIS WILL ALSO BRING IN A DRIER AIR MASS WITH AFTERNOON RH
VALUES DROPPING INTO THE 30-40% RANGE. IF STRONGER MIXING CAN
OCCUR, THE AREA NEAR THE SPOT HAS A 10-30% CHANCE OF DROPPING
BELOW 30%. THE MIXING WILL ALLOW FOR DECENT HEIGHTS AROUND 3 KFT
AND FAIR VENTRATES BETWEEN NOON AND 4 PM.
TOMORROW, THE AIR WILL BE DRIER WITH VALUES BETWEEN 25-30%. ONCE
AGAIN, THERE IS A CHANCE THAT YOUR SPOT DROPS BELOW 25% DURING THE
AFTERNOON IF THERE ARE ENOUGH PEAKS OF SUNSHINE TO WARM THE VALLEY.
OTHERWISE, WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER AT 5-10 MPH OUT OF THE EAST (THE
SHIFT OCCURS OVERNIGHT).
