.DISCUSSION...
There is a slight chance (20 percent or less) of a shower through
early evening. An outflow boundary is currently pushing southward
down the lake and based on its current motion, may arrive at the
incident location between 8 and 9 PM CDT. Winds may switch out of
the north to northwest and could gust to around 25 mph as this
boundary passes, but will return out of the southwest late this
evening and settle into the 5 to 15 mph range. There is a chance
for shower and thunderstorms in the vicinity during the mid
morning and early afternoon on Friday.
