.DISCUSSION...

Thursday morning will see southerly winds between 10-15mph persist
into the day with gusts increasing during the afternoon to between
20-30mph. MinRHs bottom out to between 15-20% as temperatures
climb to around 100F. While rain chances are low for the area near
the prescribed location, storms may develop to the west over the
Davis Mountains. This may pose a threat for outflow boundaries to
move through the area and cause sudden wind shifts out of the west
or north. Outside of any convection, winds will stay southerly
through the afternoon and into Thursday evening.
