.DISCUSSION...

Periods of rain and snow are expected today as a gusty weather
system moves through the area today. Any pre burn operations

of a thunderstorm in the vicinity. Drier and quieter weather is
expected on Wednesday, allowing the burn area to dry out a bit
before the prescribed burn. After a dry day on Thursday with winds
topping out around 10 mph, a passing disturbance will bring a few
scattered rain showers to the vicinity of the burn site.
