.DISCUSSION...

Hot and dry conditions are expected today. Winds are expected to remain
light (~10 MPH) and from the north-northeast throughout the day. The
wild card will be where very weak thunderstorms develop. These storms
will likely produce a few drops of rain, but will create gusty winds of
around 30 to 40 MPH. The best time for these storms to develop over and
near the Oak Ridge fire will be between 1300 and 1700. Look for clouds with
rain falling from the base but evaporates before hitting the ground - those
are the storms that will create the strongest winds. The winds will also
be coming from the direction of where those storms are - i.e. if the storm is
relatively close to you located to the north, expect gusty northerly winds.

Ventilation rates will be Good to Very Good until sunset.
