.DISCUSSION...
Generally NW winds 5-15mph gusting around 20-25mph this
afternoon...should diminish tonight. Expecting offshore breezes to
develop overnight with high pressure settling in. Afternoon RHs
should be lower Monday...under 35 percent...as temps creep up into
the 60s to around 70 for highs. Winds Monday become N to NE,
remaining around 5mph gusting 10-15mph. Lake breezes to develop in
the afternoon with potential for more afternoon showers to
develop, esp inland away from the lakes...very low lightning
potential attm. Mixing heights around 5-9kft this afternoon should
be very similar Monday afternoon across much of the area away from
the lake influences. Rain chances creep in late Tuesday into Tuesday
night along with an uptick in prevailing easterly flow.
