BROKEN DOWN, WHICH WILL RESULT IN DRIER AIR MOVING IN WITH WESTERLY
FLOW. THE UPPER RIDGE REBUILDS EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH MOISTURE
BEGINNING TO RETURN AT THAT TIME. WINDS WILL REMAIN ON THE LIGHT
SIDE EXCEPT NEAR THUNDERSTORMS WHICH WILL ALSO LIMIT VENT RATES TO
FAIR TO GOOD TODAY, THEN IMPROVING FRIDAY RANGING FROM GOOD TO VERY
