.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions are expected from now through the weekend so no
worries of precipitation during the roundup. The only concern
Friday will be a dry cool front passing through during the day
that will cause breezy winds to move into the region. Winds in the
morning will be light out of the southwest, but late morning or
early afternoon winds will transition to out of the northwest
becoming gusty, max gusts expected around 30 mph over the event
area.

Temperatures in the early morning with a high temperature Friday
around 80 in the afternoon.
