GUST OF 30 TO 40 MPH. THERE WILL LIKELY BE A BREAK IN SHOWERS
OVERNIGHT TONIGHT...BEFORE MORE SHOWERS DEVELOP ON SUNDAY.
OTHERWISE...THE LIGHT WINDS BEING EXPERIENCED WILL INCREASE OUT
OF THE WEST OVERNIGHT AND BECOME EVEN STRONGER ON SUNDAY WITH SOME
GUSTS TO 40 MPH...ESPECIALLY BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON.
