.DISCUSSION...

A VERY ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM IS NOT OUT OF THE QUESTION THIS
EVENING...BUT MOST OF THE ACTIVITY WILL BE WELL SOUTH OF THE FIRE
AREA IN NORTHERN WYOMING. WINDS WILL BE NORTHERLY THIS
EVENING...GRADUALLY SHIFTING SOUTHEAST LATE TONIGHT. GOOD RH
RECOVERIES EXPECTED TONIGHT. TOMORROW WILL BE HOT AND MAINLY DRY
WITH JUST A SLIGHT CHANCE OF AN AFTERNOON/EVENING THUNDERSTORM. A
COLD FRONTAL BOUNDARY WILL BE JUST NORTH OF THE FIRE AREA...SO
EXPECT SOUTHERLY WINDS THROUGH THE DAY. BUT BE AWARE OF A
POTENTIAL WIND SHIFT IN THE AFTERNOON TO THE NORTH IF THAT
BOUNDARY SHIFTS SOUTH JUST A LITTLE. RH VALUES WILL BE IN THE
UPPER TEENS TUESDAY AFTERNOON. CHAMBERS
