.DISCUSSION...West to southwesterly flow remains in place over the burn area
today alongside slightly cooler temperatures and higher humidity.
That said, temperatures will remain above normal for this time of
year and humidity will bottom out in the upper teens. Winds will
peak with gusts around 20-25 mph on exposed ridges, slopes, and
aligned west-east oriented drainages this afternoon. Overnight,
winds are anticipated to remain elevated on ridges and upper
elevation slopes with diurnal terrain flows expected within
drainages in the mid-to-low elevations. Due to elevated winds,
overnight humidity recoveries are expected to be poor. A cold
front progresses through the area on Monday, bringing strong winds
just ahead of the boundary and shifting wind direction to
northwesterly behind the boundary. Current timing of the cold
front progression through the burn area is expected between 1500
and 1800 on Monday.
