Windy with a few clouds from time to time. High 66F. Winds WNW at 25 to 35 mph. Winds could occasionally gust over 50 mph.

50 MPH?

I'd still do it. Worse case scenario it turns in to a high heat cook.

I'm worried that the 14.5 WSM would blow over with 50 MPH winds.

Maybe keep it sheltered on the side of the house or building that is out of the wind will help. My 14.5 has been in
some high winds and has never fallen over yet that way.

50 mph wind, that's what we call a stiff breeze here. I've done cooks in wind like that I got it done but it was a PITA for sure. Had to strap the lid down as the wind blew it off twice.
Good luck.
