.DISCUSSION...Cooler temperatures inland will persist through the weekend
before a warming trend takes effect. Temperatures are expected to rise
to just at or slightly above normal early week. NW Winds are likely to
continue through the weekend into the week as well. An upper level trough
to the north of the area is keeping RH values high and could send a light
rainshowers over the incident area Sunday, yet forecast confidence in this
is low and any rain that does fall will be very light, <0.10".
High pressure ridging will quickly strengthen starting Monday when
inland valley high temperatures will range in the mid to upper
80s.
*Ranges below are due to the vast differences in weather conditions over
the burn site. For further information please feel free to reach out to
NWS Eureka 24/7.
