.DISCUSSION...
STRONG WINDS ALOFT SHOULD BE MIXED DOWN THROUGH THE AFTERNOON AS CONDITIONS
BECOME MORE UNSTABLE ABOVE THE SURFACE. THE 12 MPH WIND CRITERIA LOOKS IN
JEOPARDY BY EARLY AFTERNOON AS WINDS SHOULD BE ABOVE THAT RANGE WITH
SOME GUSTS APPROACHING 30 MPH. UNFORTUNATELY THESE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT WILL
REMAIN OVER THE AREA ON THURSDAY LEADING TO ANOTHER BREEZY DAY. SURFACE
WINDS DO LOOK TO RELAX BY FRIDAY AS THE STRONGER WINDS ALOFT SHIFT EASTWARD
BY AN UPPER RIDGE BUILDING ALOFT.
