.DISCUSSION...
Upper level ridge currently in place will breakdown tonight
as a weather system approaches from the west. This will bring
increasing cloud cover and result in warm overnight lows
temperatures and fair overnight relative humidity recoveries. The
approaching system will bring chances of showers and thunderstorms
over the fire Sunday afternoon. Storms will bring the potential
for lightning, small hail, and gusty and erratic winds Sunday
afternoon. An upper level ridge will rebuild on Monday as another
system approaches the northwest. This will bring a return to
warm and dry conditions with breezy winds through the Cascade
valleys.
