.DISCUSSION...
A SLOW MOVING WEAK COOL FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FIRE AREA
EARLY THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL BRING A SHIFT TO NORTHERLY WINDS
BUT THESE WINDS ARE NOT EXPECTED TO BE TOO STRONG. THUNDERSTORM
ACTIVITY WILL REDEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON AND BE MORE WIDESPREAD THAN
PREVIOUS DAYS AND HAVE A BETTER CHANCE OF PRODUCING MORE THAN A
TENTH OF AN INCH (.10) OF RAIN. IT WILL BE COOLER TODAY WITH
HIGHER HUMIDITY. EXPECT SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY TO
CONTINUE TONIGHT WITH GOOD HUMIDITY RECOVERY. A MUCH STRONGER
COLD FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE FIRE AREA MONDAY MORNING BRINING
GUSTY NORTH WINDS BUT MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES. BORSUM
