FORECAST IS BASED ON REQUEST TIME OF 1853 PDT ON SEPTEMBER 01.
IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SYSTEM OVER THE FOUR CORNERS AREA
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING VERY WARM CONDITIONS TO THE BURN AREA THROUGH AT
LEAST THURSDAY. SOUTHEAST FLOW ALOFT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM WILL CONTINUE TO BRING SOME SUBTROPICAL MOISTURE INTO THE AREA
DURING THE NEXT FEW DAYS. IT APPEARS THAT THE BEST AVAILABLE MOISTURE AND
INSTABILITY ACROSS THE BURN AREA WILL BE WEDNESDAY WHEN THERE IS A SLIGHT
CHANCE OF AFTERNOON THUNDERSTORMS. SINCE THE LOWER LEVELS OF THE ATMOSPHERE
ARE STILL FAIRLY DRY...ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
PRODUCE GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS...AS WELL IS THE POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED DRY
LIGHTNING STRIKES. SOME COOLING IS EXPECTED BY FRIDAY ACROSS THE BURN
AREA...WITH MORE NOTICEABLE COOLING OVER THE WEEKEND. THE INFLUX OF SUBTROPICAL
MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP HUMIDITY LEVELS HIGHER THAN THE PREVIOUS
PAST FEW DAYS.

BREAKUP OF INVERSION EXPECTED TO OCCUR AROUND 11 AM ON WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY.
