.DISCUSSION...High pressure developing over the region will bring
a warming and drying trend through the weekend. Good mixing due
to enhanced northwesterly transport winds this afternoon keeps
clearing indices in the excellent category today. However, more
limited mixing and lighter transport winds will limit clearing
indices to below 500 on Saturday. High pressure begins to break
down late Sunday, bringing cooler and potentially wetter
conditions for the early part of next week.
