Southeast California/Southwest Arizona including KIPL and KBLH: No major aviation weather concerns are anticipated through the forecast period. Winds will favor a SW-W component at KBLH and W-NW at KIPL. Intermittent gusts up to 20-25 kts will be common over the next few hours with a few gusts exceeding 30 kts possible at KIPL. Otherwise, gusts should diminish by midnight and speeds will fall to 10 kts or less. FEW to SCT clouds, mostly aoa 7 kft, will continue into the evening before becoming clear overnight.
