.DISCUSSION...

WINDS WILL BE QUITE VARIABLE THIS AFTERNOON AS FLOW IS GENERALLY LIGHT
ACROSS THE REGION. HOWEVER...I DO EXPECT OUTFLOW FROM STORMS LATER THIS
AFTERNOON AND THAT SHOULD CAUSE THE WINDS TO BLOW FROM A NORTHWESTERLY
DIRECTION  AFTER  THE OUTFLOWS HIT. WINDS COULD GET QUITE GUSTY WITH THE
OUTFLOWS. LATE THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING WINDS SHOULD TAKE ON A MORE
NORTHERLY DIRECTION AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.

WE SHOULD SEE QUITE A FEW SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS LATER THIS AFTERNOON
AND EVENING.

TOMORROW WE WILL SEE MORE SCATTERED STORMS...MORE THAN WE HAVE SEEN IN THE
PAST SEVERAL DAYS. LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND DEWPOINTS SHOULD ALSO BE A BIT
HIGHER THAN THE LAST SEVERAL DAYS.
