Service.

.DISCUSSION...Minimal change in conditions are expected over the fire
area today as hot and dry conditions remain in place. Winds will
follow typical diurnally driven trends, however, east-west
oriented drainages may see more persistent winds around 10 mph
from the west during the afternoon. Winds will begin to increase
through the overnight hours out of the west to southwest direction
which will cause overnight humidity recoveries to decrease. Winds
remain elevated through the day on Saturday alongside a drying
environment, creating critical fire weather conditions. While
humidity is expected to bottom out on Saturday, winds are expected
to increase through Monday afternoon where peak gusts are
expected to be in the 30-40 mph range for both Sunday and Monday.
Higher-end critical fire weather conditions are expected for
these days. A dry cold front is anticipated to progress over the
fire late Monday/ early Tuesday, and will shift winds to a northerly
direction.
