.DISCUSSION...

THE GUSTY WINDS THAT HAVE PLAGUED THE REGION FOR THE PAST SEVERAL
DAYS WILL FINALLY START TO SETTLE DOWN TONIGHT. WEAK HIGH
PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE AREA TONIGHT WITH MOSTLY CLEAR SKIES AND
LIGHT WINDS. THIS WILL RESULT IN SOME CHILLY TUESDAY MORNING LOWS.
WIND SPEEDS WILL STAY ON THE LOW SIDE ON TUESDAY AND MAINTAIN A
SOUTH-SOUTHWEST DIRECTION. ANOTHER BOUNDARY WILL PUSH THROUGH THE
AREA TUESDAY NIGHT SWITCHING THE WINDS BACK TO THE NORTHWEST FOR
WEDNESDAY. THE REST OF THE WEEK CONTINUES TO LOOK PRETTY TRANQUIL.
