will be possible in and near convection. Winds will become
southeasterly to southerly between 5-10 knots over much of the

temperatures are on track to range between 95-99 degrees over
interior areas along and north of the I-10 corridor and from
around 90 degrees to the lower 90s along the coast. Factoring in
