.DISCUSSION...

Hot conditions will give way to isolated thunderstorms late this
afternoon. Though most of the storms will be north and east of the
exercise, a stray severe storm cannot be ruled out. Gusty erratic
winds will be the primary threat if a storm were to impact the
area. Otherwise expect southerly winds that will be breezy today.
Friday hot conditions return with a continued low-end chance for
a severe storm. Winds will largely be southerly once again and
breezy. Same can be said for Saturday and Sunday, though winds
will largely be westerly.

If you need hourly forecast data this weekend, please request a
daily spot.
