.DISCUSSION...

Winds start out the day light and variable. Around the late
morning hours (10am-12pm) winds increase to around 10mph and become
northwesterly. During the afternoon hours sustained winds will be
around 10-15mph with gusts around 15-20mph and winds become west-
northwesterly rather than northwesterly. Today`s high will be
around 60 degrees, resulting in afternoon relative humidity values
falling to 20-25%. The edge of the overcast stratus cloud deck
moves south/west of the area during the afternoon which could lead
to greater mixing and gusts of 20-25mph though this depends on
the amount of sunshine/clearing.

Winds become light after sunset, with winds shifting to the
southwest. Winds increase after midnight, gusting around 20mph by
sunrise.

West-southwest winds of 10-15mph, gusting 20-25mph are expected
after sunrise on Thursday. Gusts fall below 20mph during the
afternoon with relative humidity values of 20-25mph.
