.DISCUSSION...
Light winds out of the west or northwest will give way to
strong/gusty northwest winds by late morning gusting 20-25 mph.
After 1500 they could gust to 30 mph. Rain showers, including a
5-10 percent of lightning are possible this afternoon. Rain
amounts should be light (a few hundredths), but gusty and erratic
winds gusting over 30 mph are expected with any of the showers
this afternoon. In between showers, winds should remain NW and
gusting 20-30 mph.
On Wednesday precipitation chances will be less than today, but
still a slight chance of snow in the afternoon. No accumulation is
expected given the marginal temps and warm ground. Winds should
be more steady out of the northwest 10-20 mph, with gusts to 25
mph in the afternoon hours. Smoke dispersal will be excellent
given the winds and deep mixing heights over 10,000 ft.
