.DISCUSSION...

   INCREASING WINDS TODAY THROUGH MONDAY

HIGH PRESSURE OVER THE REGION WILL BEGIN TO BREAKDOWN TODAY. THIS
WILL ALLOW A SERIES OF WEATHER SYSTEMS TO MOVE INLAND BETWEEN TODAY
AND MONDAY. THE FIRST ONE TODAY WILL MOVE NORTH OF THE CANADIAN
BORDER AND WILL INCREASE WINDS A BIT. BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON
THE NEXT SYSTEM WILL COME THROUGH BRINGING BREEZY CONDITIONS.
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY...A STRONG COLD FRONT WILL BRING MOST
LIKELY THE STRONGEST WINDS OF THE THREE DISTURBANCES...BUT ALSO
THE BEST CHANCES OF MEASURABLE PRECIPITATION.
