.DISCUSSION...
High pressure is centered south of our region. Clockwise wind
flow around the high will result in westerly winds across the 
area today and Thursday. In general, expect increasing 
temperatures and dry conditions through the remainder of the
week. It will remain windy, with gusty westerly winds 
persisting through Thursday before diminishing. The biggest 
concern over the next several days will be the wind and its 
potential to contribute to elevated fire danger.
