.DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN ISSUE TODAY WILL BE WIND SPEEDS. A NEARLY STATIONARY
SURFACE AND UPPER LOW WILL BE FAR NORTHWEST WISCONSIN TODAY.
MOISTURE WILL WRAP BACK WESTWARD BUT IS EXPECTED TO STAY EAST OF
OUR LOCAL AREA. WE WILL SEE CONSIDERABLE HIGH AND MID LEVEL
CLOUDINESS TODAY HOWEVER. CIRCULATION AROUND THE LOW WILL RESULT
IN A NORTH-NORTHEAST WIND TODAY IN THE 360 TO 030 DEGREE RANGE.
WIND SPEEDS WILL BE NEAR 5 KTS TO START THE DAY BUT INCREASE BY
EARLY AFTERNOON TO AROUND 15 KTS WITH GUSTS WITH BRIEF GUSTS UP TO
25 KTS POSSIBLE. DRIER AIR WILL WORK IN SO DESPITE THE CLOUD COVER
TODAY DO LOOK FOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES TO DROP INTO THE LOW
30S THIS AFTERNOON.
