.DISCUSSION...
Shower activity is trending down this hour and will continue to do
so this evening. Erratic wind shifts from outflow boundaries
emanating from decaying showers and thunderstorms in the region
of the burn location will continue further into the evening.
Light and variable winds take over by midnight at the latest. A
ridge of high pressure moves in Friday and Saturday allowing for
a drying and warming trend to ensue. Humidity recoveries fall each
morning with minimum humidity falling to near or below 10 percent
in the afternoon. Winds will be light, but the warming trend will
still allow for vertical mixing and good to excellent ventilation
each afternoon.
