LOOKS LIKE WE'LL HANG ON TO A 10 TO 15 KT SUSTAINED WIND AT
MOST PLACES OVERNIGHT. IDA MAY HAVE A HARD TIME LOSING THEIR
GUSTS AND IF THEY DO, IT MAY NOT BE FOR LONG. SATELLITE HAS
SHOWN SOME LOW 2500 FT PATCHY STRATUS DEVELOPING. MODELS DON'T
SUPPORT IT BECOMING TOO WIDESPREAD SO LEFT IT AS SCT IN MOST
PLACES. EXPECT 25 KT WIND GUSTS TO RETURN TO IDA, PIH, AND BYI
TOMORROW AFTERNOON.
PIH WATCHES/WARNINGS/ADVISORIES
NONE.
