...A LITTLE MORE STABLE TODAY...

.DISCUSSION...THE UPPER LEVEL FLOW VEER TO THE SOUTHWEST SATURDAY AS
AN UPPER LEVEL TROUGH MOVES ACROSS SOUTHERN CANADA. THIS WILL RESULT
IN A SLIGHTLY MORE STABLE ATMOSPHERE. THERE SHOULD BE A BIT MORE ONSHORE
LOW-LEVEL FLOW SATURDAY...BUT LIKELY NOT ENOUGH TO BE MUCH OF A
FACTOR OVER THE BURN AREA. WILL NEED TO WATCH FOR CONVECTION POTENTIAL
TO INCREASE SUNDAY AS THE FLOW BACKS MORE TO THE SOUTH.

CHANCE OF WETTING RAIN (CWR) 0.25 INCHES OR GREATER.
THUNDERSTORMS IMPLY GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS.
