.DISCUSSION...A ridge of high pressure is beginning to build into
the region, but cloud cover will continue to build over the burn
site due to the lingering influence of the exiting weather system.
The wind direction is tricky today with this burn site lying right
between the predominately southwest winds and east winds. Saturday
trends warmer and drier with increased southeast winds by the
afternoon. Rain showers look to develop Saturday night.
