.DISCUSSION...
A few showers have entered the southern Midlands this morning and
are moving off to the NW. Showers are likely to remain outside of
the burn area but will need to be monitored through the morning.
Winds will be light and variable this morning through 10 AM when
they will pick up out of the S/SSE from 5 to 10 mph. The bulk of
the shower and thunderstorm activity is expected to remain east of
the burn site this afternoon however we cannot rule out an
isolated storm nearby which may cause gusty, erratic winds. Winds
will go light and variable again around sunset.
