DISCUSSION
THUNDERSTORMS ARE LIKELY TO DEVELOP ALONG THE SANGRE DE CRISTO
MOUNTAINS THIS AFTERNOON, WITH THE HIGHEST CONFIDENCE IN STORMS
FORMING BETWEEN 1-6PM. FREQUENT LIGHTNING, GUSTY TO STRONG WINDS,
HAIL, AND LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL ARE ALL POSSIBLE WITH STORMS.
COLLIDING OUTFLOW BOUNDARIES AND/OR OTHER STORM INTERACTIONS MAY
LEAD TO ERRATIC WIND GUSTS IN THE LATE AFTERNOON (4PM-8PM), WHICH
IS THE REASON FOR THE SEVERAL SHIFTS IN TONIGHT'S 20 FOOT WINDS.
AFTER STORMS HAVE PASSED, IT IS LIKELY BREEZY SOUTH WINDS WILL
REMAIN THROUGH MIDNIGHT, BEFORE TAPERING OFF OVERNIGHT. STORMS ARE
AGAIN POSSIBLE TOMORROW, THOUGH LIKELY TO BE LESS IN COVERAGE.

FOR TOMORROW, AS WELL AS A LOW CHANCE OF A DIRECT HIT FROM A STORM.
