.DISCUSSION...
Light west winds around 2 to 5 mph will affect the site with good
dispersions around 40 to 50 expected during the late morning and
early afternoon. Wind direction will remain fairly steady under
west and northwesterly transport winds. However, a weak seabreeze
will begin to develop after 1400 which will allow a more
southwesterly wind component to develop. Most shower and storm
activity will stay away from the site until after 1300 which will
be when isolated to scattered pop-up showers and storms gradually
begin to develop across the region. Gusty and erratic winds are
likely in the vicinity of any storms. The seabreeze will decrease
after sunset with very light westerly winds continuing overnight.
