CLEARING INDEX BELOW 500 SUNDAY AFTERNOON. THIS HIGH WILL WEAKEN ON
MONDAY, WHICH WILL ALLOW FOR AN INCREASE IN SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT.
WINDS MONDAY WILL LARGELY REMAIN TERRAIN DRIVEN THROUGH EARLY
AFTERNOON, HOWEVER WITH DAYTIME HEATING AND BETTER MIXING THIS
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW ALOFT IS EXPECTED TO SURFACE BY MID-AFTERNOON.
