.DISCUSSION...Outside of any shower/thunderstorm influence,
expecting breezes to be fairly light, favoring an easterly or
southeasterly direction overnight and turning south-southwest in
the afternoon. However, we are expecting scattered showers and
storms in the afternoon. The bulk of the activity should be just
to the north of the fire, but there is a roughly 25% chance of
precipitation over the fire. Should a storm move overhead or
nearby, expecting erratic winds, locally heavy rain, and frequent
lightning. Storm activity will dissipate in the evening, with
calmer and drier conditions Sunday night and Monday.
