.DISCUSSION...

HIGH PRESSURE AT THE SURFACE WILL BE MOVING TO THE EAST THROUGH
THE DAY...WHICH WILL CAUSE WINDS TO CONTINUE TO BLOW FROM THE
SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. AT PEAK HEATING AROUND
MID-AFTERNOON COULD SEE WINDS BLOWING AT 10 TO 15 MPH WITH GUSTS
UP TO 25 MPH...HOWEVER THE STRONGER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO BE
FURTHER TO THE WEST OVER THE NEBRASKA PANHANDLE AND NORTHEAST
COLORADO WHERE THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL BE STRONGER. IN TURN
WITH THE SOUTHERLY WINDS...WARMER AIR WILL BE PULLED NORTH SO
STILL EXPECTING AFTERNOON HIGHS IN THE MID TO UPPER 80S. RELATIVE
HUMIDITY SHOULD STAY ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES THOUGH THIS AFTERNOON
AS DEWPOINTS WILL STAY IN THE 40S. THIS WILL LEAD TO RELATIVE
HUMIDITY IN THE MID 20S AT ITS MINIMUM. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE
FOR THUNDERSTORMS LATER TODAY. COVERAGE IS EXPECTED TO BE ISOLATED
AND A HIGHER CHANCE WILL BE WEST OF THE BURN AREA. HOWEVER IF A
THUNDERSTORM DOES PASS...IT IS LIKELY THAT THERE WILL BE VERY
LITTLE IN TERMS OF RAINFALL WITH DRY LIGHTNING BEING A
POSSIBILITY.
