.DISCUSSION...

Mild weather is expected near the fire today and tomorrow, with
slight chances for showers and thunderstorms and temperatures in
the low 70s. Relative humidity values will fall to around 27% this
afternoon, and to around 25% tomorrow afternoon. Though chances
for storms moving directly over the fire are unlikely today and
tomorrow, main risks with storms will be gusty outflow winds,
lightning, and small hail. Outside of gusty and erratic winds near
thunderstorms, winds are expected to be fairly light and
northwesterly during daytime hours both today and tomorrow.
