.DISCUSSION...

A WEAK RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE BURN PROJECT TODAY. THIS WILL
RESULT IN TEMPERATURES SLIGHTLY WARMER THEN YESTERDAY WITH MAINLY
DRY CONDITIONS. THE RIDGE WILL SLIDE EAST OF THE AREA OVERNIGHT
ALLOWING MOISTURE TO SLIDE UP FROM THE SOUTHWEST. THIS WILL RESULT
IN INCREASING CLOUDS AND A CHANCE OF SHOWERS ON ON SUNDAY. A
STRONGER DISTURBANCE WILL MOVE INTO THE REGION MONDAY. THIS WILL
BRING A HIGHER PROBABILITY OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH
NEXT WEEK.
