.DISCUSSION...
WEAK UPPER WAVES WILL PASS THROUGH THE REGION OVER THE NEXT COUPLE
DAYS. ONE WAVE MOVES EAST TODAY AND A SECOND APPROACHES FOR LATE
THURSDAY. THE ATMOSPHERE IS UNSTABLE ENOUGH TO ALLOW CLOUDS TO
DEVELOP OVER THE SURROUNDING MOUNTAINS TODAY. THERE IS A SLIGHT
RISK A FEW SHOWERS MAY DEVELOP IN THEM. HOWEVER IT IS MORE LIKELY
THESE WILL REMAIN NORTH AND EAST OF THE WILDFIRE. WINDS WILL
GENERALLY REMAIN UNDER 10 MPH. TOMORROW WILL CONTINUE TO SEE
SOME CLOUDS...THOUGH LESS CUMULUS AS THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES
MORE STABLE.
