.DISCUSSION...Anticipating mostly clear and tranquil conditions
over the burn tonight into tomorrow morning. Winds will increase a
bit by the afternoon as a Pacific storm system approaches. There
will be enough moisture and instability for a few showers and
thunderstorms to develop in the vicinity of the burn during the
afternoon, with the threat persisting through Saturday with the
passage of the trough across Utah. The best moisture and
instability, and thus coverage of showers and thunderstorms, will
remain north of the area, but still looking at about a 20% chance
the site sees a thunderstorm. High pressure will move in for the
latter half of the weekend and into early next week.
