DISCUSSION
WIND SPEEDS ARE GENERALLY VERY LIGHT AROUND THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON
AND DIRECTION IS LIKELY GOING TO BE MOST DEPENDENT ON LOCALIZED
TERRAIN INFLUENCES THAT ARE DIFFICULT TO MODEL. USING THE WIND NINJA
TOOL, WINDS ARE MOST LIKELY TO BE SOUTHWEST TO WEST, THEN GO LIGHT
AND VARIABLE AROUND SUNSET. AS DIURNAL MIXING BEGINS SATURDAY, WINDS
LOOK TO COME UP FROM NORTHWEST IN LATE MORNING, REMAINING LIGHT
NORTHERLY THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. WITH A VERY SUBTLE COLD FRONT
APPROACHING THE AREA SATURDAY AFTERNOON, A POP-UP SHOWER IS NOT
ENTIRELY OUT OF THE QUESTION AT THAT TIME, BUT CHANCE APPEARS LESS
THAN 10 PERCENT, AND AN EVEN LOWER CHANCE OF WETTING RAIN. RH
WILL HOWEVER REMAIN SOMEWHAT HIGHER SATURDAY AFTERNOON.
