DISCUSSION
LOW CLOUDS ARE EXPECTED TO START THE DAY, BUT THE TREND SHOULD
BE FOR THOSE CLOUDS TO BREAK UP BY MID-LATE MORNING, GIVING WAY TO TO
A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS FOR THE AFTERNOON. CHANCES FAVOR CONDITIONS
REMAINING PRECIPITATION-FREE, BUT A STRAY AFTERNOON SHOWER CAN'T BE
RULED OUT. TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL, WITH HIGHS IN THE
UPPER 70S, EVEN AT THE HIGH ELEVATION OF THE SITE. RHS WILL START OUT
IN THE 80S AND DROP BACK TO THE 40S BY LATE AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL BE
OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST, AND COULD GUST TO AROUND 20 MPH AT TIMES.
VERY SIMILAR CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TOMORROW, MINUS THE LOW CLOUDS
IN THE MORNING. CHANCES FOR AN AFTERNOON SHOWER OR STORM MAY BE EVER
SO SLIGHTLY HIGHER, BUT ODDS STILL FAVOR PRECIPITATION-FREE CONDITIONS.
