...Low Humidity combined with Periods of Gusty Winds, Shifting 
from North and Northwest Tuesday afternoon to Northeast Tuesday 
night into Wednesday...

.An upper level trough passing by on Tuesday will bring enhanced
north to northwest afternoon breezes, combined with humidity
bottoming out in the teens. As this trough passes by and high
pressure builds to our north Tuesday night and Wednesday, winds
will veer to the northeast. While valley areas will be mainly
protected from these winds, gusty northeast winds will be found 
across exposed slopes and ridgetops in eastern Del Norte County, 
western Siskiyou, northeastern Mendocino County, as well as much 
of Lake County, late Tuesday night and Wednesday. These winds will
be accompanied by a drying trend, with poor RH recoveries 
expected both Tuesday and Wednesday night along upper slopes and 
ridges. Northeast to East winds will remain elevated Wednesday
night into early Thursday morning across the same ridgetop areas.
