.DISCUSSION...
Warm and dry conditions continue near the fire for the next
several days. Winds remain light and primarily from the west.
Conditions remain similar until Saturday and Sunday as pressure
drops and increased cloud cover moderate conditions somewhat.
There is a non-zero chance for an isolated thunderstorm to develop
north of the fire Thursday and Friday afternoons, but the
greatest potential remains much farther north. A wind shift to the
north due to thunderstorm outflow is technically possible
Thursday and Friday although chances remain slim.
