...Gusty Winds up to around 50 mph Possible with Light Rain and
Rain Showers...
As showers continue to move across the area, brief gusty winds up
to and in excess of 40 mph may be experienced. Strongest wind
reports this evening have been in excess of 50 mph and have
caused tree damage.
These are being driven by evaporative cooling as rain falls
through very dry air below it. These wind gusts are likely to
continue until shower activity begins to subside later this
evening.
