.DISCUSSION...

Modest northwest flow continues across the region as a short wave
trough continues to translate east across the northern tier. Flow
aloft will continue to moderate through the rest of the work week,
as upper level ridging building across the Great Basin, continues
to build into the Rockies. This will allow for less wind across
the burn site, as well as, above seasonal temperatures through
the rest of the work week. While there could be a few afternoon
cumulus build ups over the higher terrain, generally dry conditions
are expected across the burn site.
