.DISCUSSION...Daily wind patterns expected the next several days
with light south to southwest winds in the morning, then
increasing winds 10-15 mph with gusts 20-35 mph in the afternoon.
Strongest afternoon gusts expected Saturday. Isolated to
scattered showers and thunderstorms expected today and tomorrow.
Lightning, strong outflow winds, erratic wind directions, and
localized heavy rain will be possible with any storms that
develop. Chances for wetting rains are minimal due to the isolated
nature of these storms. Should a storm move directly overhead,
wetting rains will be possible. Afternoon RHs will be in the mid-
to-upper teens today with overnight recoveries in the 50-60%
range and even higher at higher elevations. Temperatures will top
out in the low- to- mid 90s each afternoon, with overnight low
