.DISCUSSION...Dry and quiet weather is expected through at least
Monday, with winds following typical upslope/downslope patterns.
By Tuesday, a weather system(s) may begin to influence our
sensible weather at least in some fashion through the rest of the
week, bringing periods of breezy southwest winds and light
precipitation. Confidence on the specific details with the
forecast Tuesday through the end of next week is low, but at least
for now, the potential forecast spread of sustained surface wind
speeds in the area of the prescribed burn is between 5-12 mph,
with afternoon gusts of around 15-25 mph. The direction will
primarily be from the southwest Tuesday through late week.
