.DISCUSSION...

Dry conditions expected the rest of today and on through the rest
of the work week. Overall little in the way of cloud cover
expected through tonight, a few lower-mid level clouds may creep
in from the north Wednesday morning. Main concern lies with winds.
The rest of this afternoon, winds remain southwesterly, with
speeds around 10-15 MPH. This evening (after 6PM), winds will
start to turn more westerly ahead of an approaching cold
front...speeds remain around 10 MPH. Within roughly 1-2 hours
after midnight, this front passes through, switching winds to a
more northwesterly direction. It`s not a strong push, as it`s not
until mid-late morning (after 9AM) that the potential for gustier
winds develops. Sustained speeds are closer to 15 MPH through the
afternoon, though gusts near 20 MPH are not out of the question.
