.DISCUSSION...
Conditions today will be fairly similar to yesterday, with a bit less
cloud cover. Light and terrain driven wind will dominate this morning
before becoming northwest with gusts to around 15 mph possible after
1300. Like yesterday, a stray shower or thunderstorm can`t be ruled
out between 1400 and 1700 but the chance is 1 out of 10 at the most.
Mixing and smoke dispersal will become good to very good after morning
inversions break after 1100. Wind should become mainly light after
sunset tonight. Wind will be a bit stronger Thursday afternoon as a
cold front approaches the fire site. Increasing moisture will bring
a better chance of showers and thunderstorms from this weekend into
early next week.
