.DISCUSSION...
COOL NORTH-NORTHWEST FLOW WILL REMAIN OVER THE BURN AREA FOR THE

ZONES BURN EARLIER TODAY. FOR THE NUGGET FIRE THIS WILL RESULT
COOLER TEMPERATURES AND CONTINUED DRY CONDITIONS. ANOTHER FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO PASS THROUGH THE EASTERN ZONES THURSDAY NIGHT/FRIDAY
MORNING. THIS FRONT WILL BRING A BETTER SURGE OF VERY COOL AIR AND
INCREASED WINDS...BUT NO RAIN TO THE CASCADES. IT STILL LOOKS LIKE
