DISCUSSION
BREEZY SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE NIGHT AND ALSO
THROUGHOUT THE DAY TOMORROW, ALTHOUGH GUSTS SPEEDS ARE EXPECTED
TO WEAKEN SLIGHTLY DURING THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD. HUMIDITY IS
EXPECTED TO RISE OVERNIGHT AS TEMPERATURES DROP AS WELL, BUT NO
PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED.
DURING THE DAY TOMORROW, SIMILAR LEVELS OF HUMIDITY CAN BE
EXPECTED AS WAS OBSERVED TODAY, WITH CONTINUED GUSTY WINDS. WIND
GUST SPEEDS MAY BE SLIGHTLY LOWER THAN TODAY'S SPEEDS OVERALL,
BUT WILL LIKELY BE SIMILAR AS WELL. MEANWHILE, MIXING HEIGHTS ARE
EXPECTED TO RISE TO AROUND 4000 TO 5000 FEET TOMORROW AFTERNOON,
WITH MODERATE INSTABILITY DEVELOPING AS WELL. THIS SHOULD PROMOTE
EFFICIENT VENTILATION.
BY EARLY TOMORROW EVENING, SHOWERS AND A FEW THUNDERSTORMS ARE
LIKELY TO APPROACH THE AREA, WITH BEST CHANCES FOR WIDESPREAD
WETTING RAIN OCCURRING OVERNIGHT TOMORROW THROUGHOUT SATURDAY.
WETTING RAIN IS LIKELY, WITH SIGNIFICANT SOAKING RAIN POSSIBLE AS
WELL. A COLD FRONT WILL ALSO MOVE INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT FRIDAY
AND SATURDAY MORNING, AND WILL LIKELY STALL IN THE VICINITY OF
THIS SITE. AS SUCH, WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO WEAKEN OVERALL, BUT THE
WIND DIRECTION WILL LIKELY BE VARIABLE AND STRONG GUSTS WILL
REMAIN POSSIBLE WITHIN ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DIRECTLY IMPACT THE
SITE. IN ADDITION, LIGHTNING, HAIL, AND LOCALIZED FLOODING WILL
BE POSSIBLE WITH THESE STORMS.
