Winds speeds will decrease overnight and we will see a northerly wind on Monday morning, turning more northeasterly around midday as high pressure aloft builds to our north. Upslope winds due to heating as the as the boundary layer deepens will also influence a more northeasterly flow.

On Tuesday the winds will turn northwesterly with speeds ranging from about 2-6 m/s. Winds will turn more westerly and hit peak speeds in the afternoon as a strong low builds in directly to our north in Canada. 

Wind speeds will pick up again on Wednesday and Thursday as the pressure gradient increases. Because the pressure gradient is so large, it will most likely dominate the wind flow in the area and will be more northerly with a chance of an easterly component. Chance of precipitation on Wednesday night. On Friday the wind speeds will decrease again and northerly flow will continue and turn more westerly on Saturday.
