Service.

.DISCUSSION...
The main forecast feature over the wildfire location will be
persistent north winds around 10 to 15 mph at 20 ft.  Model data
expects these winds to remain strong even during the overnight hours
at the higher elevations.  Given how winds seem to flow through the
Shasta valley out of the south and north, it seems reasonable
the winds will remain around 10 to 15 mph for the next two days.
Otherwise, look for mostly clear conditions with good overnight
recoveries.
