.DISCUSSION...
Showers and storms off to the north of the burn area. Storms are
tracking along a boundary from Borger to Wolf Creek Park, and that
is tracking east. Storms are expected to continue to fire off this
boundary and they are expected to be isolated to scattered in
nature. This gives the burn area about a 40 percent chance of
getting rain from a storm in the next 2 to 4 hours, and about a 70
percent chance of wind shift impacts from storms that could be
near or around the burn site. Overall when not impacted by storms
nearby, winds should be out of the south to southeast 10 to 15 mph
with gusts up to 25 mph.
