.DISCUSSION...
THE BURN AREA WILL EXPERIENCE PROBABLY DRY CONDITIONS TODAY IN A
BREAK PERIOD BETWEEN WEATHER SYSTEMS. ISOLATED SHOWERS ARE POSSIBLE
IN THE AREA...ESPECIALLY OVER NEARBY PEAKS...BUT THE CHANCE OF ONE
OF THESE SHOWERS PASSING OVER THE SPECIFIC BURN SITE IS SMALL. WINDS
WILL BE LIGHT AND MANLY TERRAIN DRIVEN AND TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN
COOLER THAN NORMAL. TONIGHT THE NEXT STORM SYSTEM WILL BRING
INCREASING CLOUDS AND A BETTER CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE
THUNDERSTORMS ON THE BURN SITE TOMORROW.
