...HEAT ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 PM CDT SATURDAY...
.DISCUSSION...
Convection is ongoing and in the vicinity of the burn area. Robust
outflow is on track to move across the burn zone through the next
15-20 mins with thunderstorms remaining in the vicinity and over
the burn zone over the next 1-2 hours. Wind gust associated with
the outflow on the order of 30-40 mph will be possible, but brief.
That being said, convection related wind gust may be similar as
the convection gets closer and overhead later on. Frequent
lightning will be a concern in the burn zone as convection
prevails. TS should diminish through the overnight with wind
trending calmer through the early AM hours.
