.DISCUSSION...
SOUTHEAST WINDS AROUND 5 MPH WILL TURN OUT OF THE SOUTH AND
INCREASE 5 TO 10 MPH BY NOON. THE SOUTHERLY WIND COMPONENT WILL
BRING COOLER AIR FROM LAKE SUPERIOR. MAX TEMPERATURES MAY BE A FEW
DEGREES COOLER IF THE LAKE BREEZE IS ANY STRONGER THAN EXPECTED.
THIS WOULD ALSO RAISE MIN RH VALUES BY A FEW PERCENT. WINDS
VEER OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST TO WEST WITH HEIGHT TODAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN ANY GUSTS THIS AFTERNOON HAVING A MORE WESTERLY
COMPONENT THAN THE SURFACE WINDS.
