DISCUSSION...
UNSETTLED WEATHER WILL AFFECT THE BURN AREA THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
WINDS WILL INCREASE AHEAD OF THE LARGE PACIFIC CLOSED LOW SYSTEM.
ESPECIALLY DURING THE AFTERNOON. CLOUD COVER AT TIMES COULD AFFECT
THE MIXING BUT EXPECT SOME PERIODIC STRONGER GUSTS. IF YOU OBSERVE
LESS CLOUD COVER THEN THE STRONGER GUSTS WILL BE STEADIER. THE BEST
CHANCE OF WETTING RAIN WILL COME TONIGHT AS A SPOKE OF ENERGY
ROUNDING THE UPPER LOW MOVES OVER THE AREA. VARIABLE CLOUD COVER
AND COOLER CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL ON THURSDAY. WINDS WILL BE A BIT
LIGHTER ON THURSDAY WITH A COLD FRONT MOVING THROUGH OVERNIGHT AS
THE WINDS SHIFT TO A MORE WESTERLY COMPONENT.
