.DISCUSSION...

A COLD FRONT WILL BRING COOLER TEMPERATURES...GUSTY WINDS...AND
THE POTENTIAL FOR LIGHT RAIN TO THE BURN SITE AFTER MIDDAY. ONLY A
HANDFUL OF LIGHTNING STRIKES ARE EXPECTED. ONLY A FEW
HUNDREDTHS LIQUID IS LIKELY...WHICH WILL KEEP THE WETTING RAIN
POTENTIAL LOW. EXPECT DRYING AND WARMING TO START SUNDAY...WITH
TEMPERATURES BY MID WEEK REACHING RECORD VALUES FOR THE VALLEYS
WELL INTO THE 80S. LOOK FOR POOR RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES ON
THE RIDGES AND MID- SLOPES BY MID TO LATE WEEK.
