.DISCUSSION...

Overall winds will be out of the south in the 10 to 15 mph range
this evening with limited gusts overnight. By Saturday afternoon
winds will be back closer to 15 mph with gusts 20 to 25 mph.
Tonight the chances of storms are very low (less than 10 percent)
with an even lower chance of storms tomorrow. However, there could
be an isolated shower or storm near the burn site which could
result in erratic wind shift with higher gusts, but again that
confidence is low (around 10-15 percent). RH values will recover
in the 60 percent range and look to fall into the mid 20 percent
range tomorrow, so a little bit of a break in comparison to
previous days.
