.DISCUSSION...
The passage of an upper level disturbance this evening will produce
breezy southwest winds with gusts close to 20 mph near the ridge top
and areas exposed to a west or southwest wind. A wind shift to the
north is expected around 0200 pdt. Temperatures will remain warm
overnight with ridges and thermal belts experiencing poor relative
humidity recovery. The high temperature and minimum relative humidity
for Middle Mountain will be similar tomorrow to what occurred today
(Friday). High temperatures will climb into the low to mid 90s Sunday
through Thursday with low daytime humidity and poor overnight recoveries.
At this time, wind speeds over the weekend through Tuesday look
relatively light and terrain driven. A gradual breakdown of the hot
high pressure ridge late in the week will likely cause increasing
winds for Wednesday through the weekend of July 13-14.
