.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions are expected in the area today, with RH dipping to
around 20 percent this afternoon. Winds will generally be out of
the south-southwest, with gusts maxing out in the afternoon around
25 mph. Some isolated showers and thunderstorms will be possible
in the area after about 4-5pm and lasting into tonight. Winds near
storms will be gusty and erratic. Though little to no
precipitation is expected at the burn site today or tonight,
outflow could make fire behavior more erratic and there is a low-
end chance for lightning. Storms will largely be south and east of
the forecast site.
Storm chances will increase Wednesday over the area with the best
chances after noon, though RH values will be higher.
Precipitation chances will linger in the area into Wednesday
Night, dissipate Thursday morning, before showers and storms pop
up again Thursday afternoon. Storm coverage will largely be
scattered Weds and Thurs over the mountains, with erratic outflow
gusts and occasional lightning each afternoon and evening.
Generally unsettled weather will continue each afternoon into this
weekend.
