.DISCUSSION...SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BE THE DOMINANT PATTERN OVER THE
NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...WITH WEAK DISTURBANCES MOVING THROUGH THE
FLOW. THE BIGGEST CONCERN FOR SUNDAY WILL BE GUSTY WINDS AT THE
UNIT...PARTICULARLY AT THE UPPER ELEVATIONS. WINDS WILL INCREASE
OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST BY THE AFTERNOON HOURS AND TURN QUITE GUSTY. THE
PARTIALLY SHELTERED NATURE OF THE SITE MAY PROTECT THE BURN FROM
THE WINDS...BUT THE UPPER ELEVATIONS WILL SURELY FEEL THE GUSTS BY
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THE THREAT FOR PRECIPITATION WILL
ONLY REAR ITS HEAD MONDAY AFTERNOON...AND SHOULD BE FAIRLY DRY
UNTIL THEN. WINDS WILL ALSO KICK UP ONCE AGAIN MONDAY AFTERNOON.
