.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather conditions remain an increasing concern as fuels
continue to dry and temperatures remain hot. Somewhat cooler
conditions are expected Thursday (still above normal) along with
a slight chance of showers and storms. A slight chance of storms
will linger for the next few days, though total precipitation
will be minimal. Any storms may produce gusty winds. Otherwise,
hot, dry, and occasionally breezy conditions persist.
