...QUIET WEATHER TODAY...BUT BREEZY AND SOME THUNDERSTORMS WITH A
FRONTAL PASSAGE LATE SATURDAY...

.DISCUSSION...SITE COULD SEE SOME CUMULUS CLOUDS DEVELOP THIS
AFTERNOON WITH HEATING...BUT DO NOT THINK THEY WILL AMOUNT TO
MUCH. ALSO WILL LIKELY SEE A LIGHT SOUTHWEST WIND DEVELOP WITH
WARMEST PART OF THE DAY. TOMORROW GETS INTERESTING WITH THE FRONT
PASSING YOUR AREA LATE IN THE AFTERNOON. IT WILL BE UNSTABLE
ENOUGH FOR A THREAT OF THUNDERSTORMS...BUT INCREASING WEST WINDS
WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN. POTENTIAL FOR WETTING RAIN IS PRETTY
LOW.
