the winds are on the lighter side at around 8 to 12 mph with
directions staying mostly out of the east. These speeds should
hold through most of the afternoon and tonight with direction
slightly veering to the southeast this evening. Otherwise,
concerns for isolated showers or thunderstorms is rather low at
less than 10%. However, recent observations have seen some
instability present in the upper-levels that could lead to some
plume domination or pyro-cumulus development should the fire reach
any heavier fuels.
