.DISCUSSION...SCATTERED SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS MAY IMPACT THE
FIRE SITE OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS BEFORE MOVING WELL
NORTHEAST OF THE REGION. AFTER THIS...CONDITIONS WILL MOSTLY DRY
OUT BUT A FEW SHOWERS OR A THUNDERSTORM MAY BE POSSIBLE AT ANY
TIME OVERNIGHT. LIGHT SOUTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME CALM THIS

CLEAR OVERNIGHT THERE COULD BE SOME CONCERN FOR PATCHY FOG...BUT
GIVEN AT LEAST SOME CLOUD COVER AND A FEW SHOWERS DO NOT EXPECT
FOG TO BECOME VERY WIDESPREAD AT THIS TIME.
