.DISCUSSION...Most of the precipitation will fall before the start
of the burn period with a few lingering showers through the day.
Early Thursday will still have the chance for snow before turning to
a rain and snow mix later in the morning. Less than an inch of snow
will fall with less than a tenth of an inch of rain. Winds at the
burn site will be difficult to predict, with flows along the
escarpment differing by up to 180 degrees and 10-15 mph from winds
over the ridgeline. This could result in variable gusts and eddies
at any time, especially Thursday while the front passes. Be
vigilant for quick direction changes and sporadic gusts.
