EXTENDED DISCUSSION...

Southerly winds drastically increase Saturday and continue into
early next week in advance of the next storm system. Wind gusts of
25 to 35 mph, occasionally higher, will be possible each day.

The severe weather potential is expected to increase late Monday
into early Tuesday morning as a strong storm system moves out of
the Rockies and into the Central Plains. Although there is still
low forecast confidence this far in advance, latest data support
all modes of severe weather including large hail, damaging winds
and tornadoes. Continue to monitor future forecasts and outlooks
as Monday approaches for critical details.

The weather pattern will remain active and stormy into mid week,
with additional thunderstorm chances expected Wednesday into
Thursday as the next storm system moves through the area.
