between 2100-2200 in the lower valleys but could be delayed on the
higher benches with a steady west to northwest wind in place. A
strong cold front from the north on Monday will lead to gusty,
shifting winds from the west initially before north or northwest
behind the front. There is some uncertainty with the precise
timing of the front passage, with a passage between 1600 and 2000
PDT expected on Monday. As low pressure drops near the fire area
Monday Night there is a 25 percent chance of rain showers. Winds
