Service.

.DISCUSSION...
Convective activity has weakened across the northern mountains of
Larimer County, such that no additional showers/storms are
expected over or near the fire. We also do not anticipate any more
erratic/gusty winds associated with convective showers the rest of
the evening into the overnight hours. From now until around
midnight, winds should be 10-18 mph out of the west, weakening to
5-7 mph overnight through sunrise. Good RH recovery is expected
overnight with RH rising to around 70%.

On Sunday, winds should remain out of the west-northwest, and
could gust over 30 mph by noon, continuing into the afternoon
hours. Thunderstorm chances increase after 12 PM, with slight
chances continuing through 7 PM. Overall chances are much less
than on Saturday, with 15-30% during the afternoon window. It will
also be dry because of the downsloping winds (west), with RH
dropping to around 20%. Thus the chance of a wetting rain will be
less than 20%.
