Near Red Flag conditions are expected this afternoon and possibly
again on Sun afternoon.

A thermal low pressure trough over the fire will move south of the
fire today, and remain south of the fire through Sun, then move
back over the fire on Mon. This will cause sunny, dry and very warm
conditions over the fire today into Mon.

Beyond Mon, the Interior will warm to much above normal next week
and be mainly dry.
