...Gusty winds this afternoon...



West to southwest winds will gust as high as 35 mph the remainder

of this afternoon, with localized gusts to 40 mph possible in 

more exposed locations such as ridgetops. This may be strong 

enough to cause difficulties with some outdoor travel, especially 

where cross winds occur. 



Winds will gradually diminish with the loss of daytime heating 

and mixing late this afternoon into the evening.
