.DISCUSSION...
EXPECT PLENTY OF SUN AND GENERALLY LIGHT WINDS ACROSS THE BURN
SITE TODAY...WITH RELATIVE HUMIDITIES TONIGHT RECOVERING TO AROUND
60 PERCENT. ANOTHER LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS APPROACHING THE STATE
AND WILL START BRINGING IN INCREASING CLOUDINESS AND WINDS...AS
WELL AS ISOLATED PRECIPITATION...TO THE HIGHER TERRAIN FROM WEST
TO EAST TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND EVENING. DO NOT THINK THAT THE BURN
SITE WILL EXPERIENCE ANY SHOWERS THROUGH THE BURNING PERIOD
TOMORROW...BUT DO FEEL THAT CLOUDS WILL BE ON THE INCREASE BY
MIDAFTERNOON. ALSO...INCREASING WEST-SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT SHOULD
BECOME STRONG ENOUGH TO START OVERWHELMING THE DIURNAL SURFACE
WINDS.
