LOWER...GENERALLY IN THE LOW TO MID 20S. ALL THIS TO SAY THAT THE

TO HOLD LOW LEVEL MSTR IN THIS FAR W THIS TIME OF YEAR THERE WILL BE
A PERIOD OF TIME FROM AROUND 22Z-05Z WHERE MSTR/INSTABILITY/LIFT ARE

EXPAND THE HIGH WIND WATCH SATURDAY IN THE PLAINS.

MAINLY DRY ZONAL FLOW IS ANTICIPATED SUNDAY THROUGH THE REST OF
THE FORECAST CYCLE. WINDY CONDITIONS STILL EXPECTED SEVERAL DAYS
IN THE GUADALUPE MOUNTAINS IN THIS FLOW. SEVERAL WEAK FRONTS
WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION DURING THE WEEK COURTESY OF SEVERAL
UPPER LOWS MOVING ACROSS THE NORTHERN TIER OF STATES. STRONG FLOW
ACROSS THE ROCKIES SHOULD KEEP THE MUCH COOLER AIR AWAY FROM
