.DISCUSSION...
Gradual strengthening of southwesterly winds with gusts peaking
during the warmest part of the day. Clouds will increase throughout
the day. If errors in the forecast below occur, it would likely be
that the RH is too high. However, we did correct for typical
bias in southwesterly flow scenarios, so errors should be minor.
Otherwise forecast confidence is high.
