.DISCUSSION...
The low pressure system that brought gusty winds today will begin
to weaken and move out of the area tonight. High pressure will
replace this, beginning a slow warm up by Wednesday. However,
confidence is average at how this will move in on Wednesday. If it
is slow to move, temperatures will be cooler but will have
stronger winds. As the front moves out of the area of concern,
winds will be gusty in the Mojave slopes, so the area of ignition
may see gusty winds.
