.DISCUSSION...
Light west winds become southwest through the morning with
daytime heating and as the seabreeze begins to develop through the
day expect winds to become southerly by the late morning and
early afternoon and pick up speed to around 5 to 10 mph. Similar
to the last few days, morning showers and some thunderstorms could
affect the site, but with the mean winds out of the west, shower
and thunderstorm chances could stick around longer into the early
afternoon as the seabreeze will be slower to progress inland west
of the burn compared to locations east of the burn. Most shower
activity in the morning won`t have lightning, but with afternoon
heating, early afternoon storms will see increased potential for
lightning as they grow stronger. Additionally, storms could bring
stronger wind gusts than we`ve seen in recent days as drier air
aloft helps give thunderstorm downbursts a little more strength
today thanks to higher instability this afternoon. Most shower and
storm activity should push inland finally by the late afternoon
hours at the site.
