.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL RIDGE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE AND KEEP VERY WARM TEMPERATURES
OVER THE BURN AREA FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS. THERE WILL BE A SURFACE
BOUNDARY JUST TO THE EAST OF THE BURN AREA TOMORROW WHICH COULD HELP
SOME ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS TO DEVELOP OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS.
DEW POINTS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN IN THE 30S...SO DRY LIGHTNING IS
A POSSIBILITY ONCE AGAIN WITH THESE STORMS. UPPER LEVEL FLOW IS
EXPECTED TO TURN MORE WESTERLY TUESDAY WHICH WILL HELP TO PUSH
ANY RESIDUAL MOISTURE EAST OF THE AREA AND END THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.
