.DISCUSSION...

Dry westerly flow aloft continues through the remainder of the work
week. Daily rounds of moderate to locally strong late morning to early
evening winds are forecast Wednesday and again Thursday. These brisk
winds will decrease each evening several hours after sunset, returning
to the burn location during the late morning after several hours of
daytime heating. Thursday continues to look like the windiest day of
the week with the potential for more bonafide critical fire weather
conditions Saturday afternoon.

A weak and dry cold frontal passage will result in a wind shift
early this evening to northwesterly through 10 PM MDT then light
northerly overnight.
