.DISCUSSION...
A pattern change is in store for the burn area as the low pressure
system tracks off to the east. Expecting gusty northerly winds to
develop Friday evening, which will allow relative humidities to
fall to the teens Friday, with even drier conditions expected
Saturday. Lower confidence in how strong the northwest winds will
be Friday night, and could see sporadic northwest gusts to
15-20 mph linger past midnight. Temperatures will also trend
warmer, peaking in the low 90s Friday, and near 96 Saturday.
