THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...WHILE A GRADUAL WEAKENING OF THE UPPER

THROUGH TONIGHT SHOULD STAY SOUTH OF THE FIRE...THOUGH THE
EVOLUTION OF THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD STILL BE WATCHED. ANY
THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLY FORM IN YOUR VICINITY WILL MOVE FROM EAST
TO WEST. CALL US ANYTIME IF YOU SEE ANYTHING CONCERNING.

THE FIRE LATE TONIGHT OR FRIDAY MORNING. A SURGE OF STRONGER
