.DISCUSSION...
A cold front pushing through the area, and a strong storm system
over the Central Plains, will provide a windy forecast through
Wednesday night. Northwest winds will gust 22 to 28 mph, with the
strongest winds being experienced Wednesday. Temperatures will be
much cooler on Wednesday, with highs in the lower to mid 40s.
Humidities, although low early this evening, will climb overnight,
and be much higher Wednesday, with the cooler air and more cloud
cover. A storm system to the west will increase clouds tonight,
but it appears all the precipitation from this system will stay to
the south of the site, with only a slight chance (20%) for rain
and snow on Wednesday.
