TEMPERATURES AFTER 2 PM. NORTHEAST WINDS WILL INCREASE TO 10 TO
12 MPH BY IGNITION TIME...WITH DAYTIME MIXING PRODUCING GUSTS
UP TO 20 MPH BY 12 NOON...LASTING THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON.

OVERNIGHT TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN ABOVE FREEZING TONIGHT...BUT A FEW
LOW-LYING AREAS WILL SEE PATCHY FROST. WINDS WILL STAY UP TONIGHT...
BETWEEN 8 AND 10 MPH WITH A FEW GUSTS BETWEEN 15 AND 20 MPH.
