.DISCUSSION...

An upper level ridge will keep dry conditions in place through the
day Saturday. Winds look to funnel from south to north through
terrain through the day Saturday, which makes for a complicated
wind forecast. Current thinking is for a largely south wind
around 10-15 mph with gusts to 25 mph, though brief instances of
easterly winds cannot be ruled out if a stronger gust from the
east is funneled up the valley.
