As of 330AM this morning, winds around 2kft AGL have been near 20mph. While lower elevations around the valley floor may experience light winds through mid morning, any higher ridges 1500ft agl could experience south to southwest winds periodically gusting up to 10-15mph. By late morning and into the afternoon, winds will trend in similar fashion to the past few days. Direction will be primarily from the southwest with 2-minute sustained winds generally 10mph or less. However, stronger gusts into the mid-teens are expected among relative humidity falling into the upper 20s for the afternoon. Dry and warm conditions with similar diurnal trends in RH and winds will continue through Thursday afternoon. Cannot rule out a stray shower or thunderstorm Thursday night, but any precipitation is expected to be insignificant to the worsening drought conditions. Unseasonably warm temperatures, low relative humidity, and breezy southwesterly winds will return again Friday afternoon. .REST OF TONIGHT... Sky/weather.........Mostly clear (10-20 percent).
