08Z HAD 45 KNOTS OF WIND.  THEN THE COMBINATION OF INCREASING
WEST WINDS ALOFT AND A TIGHT SURFACE PRESSURE GRADIENT AHEAD OF

SUNDAY NIGHT.  OTHERWISE...MILD AND DRY WEATHER WILL BE OVER THE
CWA THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT.  TEMPERATURES WILL BE ANOTHER 4 TO 8
DEGREES WARMER TODAY THAN ON FRIDAY AND THEN SIMILAR OF SLIGHTLY
WARMER FOR SUNDAY.  THE WINDS DISCUSSED ABOVE WILL ALSO HELP TO

CAUGHT UP IN THE MORE WESTERLY WIND FLOW AND MOVE ACROSS THE CWA
