Sounds like there are going to be squalls throughout so be on your guard. They are scattered currently but may build in size and abundance at times. Get in and secure fast before anything gets too close to you. The forecast will likely change through time, so check in on things. Looks like the small showers were receiving are being thrown off the top of TS Gustav, so they may continue for a while. Some may have some nasty cells embedded in them, so have a care.
