.DISCUSSION...

Current observations near the wildfire site have temperatures around
75 degrees, winds out of the northeast at 15-20 with gusts up to 25 mph
and relative humidity values around 20 percent. The cold front has just
moved across the wildfire site location so winds out of the northeast
to north are anticipated the rest of the night. Winds will remain around
10-15 mph with gusts up to 20 mph the entire night. Relative humidity
values will quickly rise and should be up to around 50 percent by 9-10 PM
and increasing up to 90-95 percent on Wednesday morning. Chances are very
low (around 10-20 percent) that a shower or storm may form near the
wildfire site tonight. That timing would be from around 11 PM to 2 AM
if any storms would form. Lightning and erratic winds would be the
primary hazards if anything were to form.
