.DISCUSSION...In the wake of a departing low pressure system, high
pressure building in from the north will result in a warming and 
drying trend. Winds will remain largely terrain-driven through the
day, with enough ventilation to boost the Clearing Index above 500 
this afternoon. This building high will bring dry and stable 
conditions again Friday, with light terrain-driven winds and 
marginal ventilation.
