.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will continue to be disrupted by passing disturbances
bringing wind shifts and gusts as these synoptic winds interact and
suppress any diurnal local winds. Winds may also become gusty and
erratic if a storm or shower passes near the site today however this
is less likely to occur tomorrow (Tuesday), otherwise after tonight
sunny and clear conditions with what looks to be a warming trend
runs Tuesday and Wednesday. Uncertainty with timing of next passing
disturbance Thursday allows for yet another forecast of noting
more synoptic winds rather than diurnal ones. Cooling on or after
Thursday with increased instability may allow for showers (including
a mention of spotty short lived afternoon and evening thunder) for Friday
and Saturday.
