.DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN CONCERN TODAY IS THE STOUT SOUTHERLY WINDS. AS THE WARM FRONT
LIFTS NORTHWARD...TEMPERATURES WILL BE WELL ABOVE NORMAL. IN ADDITION...
THE WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE AND COULD POSSIBLY PUSH 35 TO 40
MPH BY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. THE WINDS WILL LIKELY FAVOR A SOUTHEAST
OR SOUTH TO SOUTHEAST DIRECTION THROUGH 2 PM...THEN THEY SHOULD
VEER MORE SOUTH OR SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST IN THE LATE AFTERNOON. AS OF
1 PM...ALL SITES IN SOUTHWEST MINNESOTA ARE EITHER SOUTH OR SOUTH
SOUTHWEST EXCEPT FOR WINDOM AND MARSHALL. AND MARSHALL IS JUST TO THE
SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONT. SO IT STANDS TO REASON THAT WINDOMS WINDS
WILL COME AROUND TO MORE OF A SOUTHERLY OR SOUTH SOUTHWEST DIRECTION.
