Moisture is gradually moving back into our area. Today this moisture is resulting in isolated dry thunderstorms. As a result, the main concerns are strong wind gusts around storms and lightning. As atmospheric moisture increases over the coming days, shower and thunderstorm coverage should increase, and precipitation will have a greater chance of making it to the ground. Although moisture and minimum relative humidity are expected to increase, this change will be gradual and localized Red Flag conditions are possible where it is dry due to gusts above critical fire weather thresholds in local areas. ...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS... ...THE SMOKE DATA IS CALCULATED FROM AN AVERAGE AT 6000 FEET MSL...
