.DISCUSSION...
MOSTLY CLEAR BUT WARM CONDITIONS WILL PREVAIL OVER THE BURN SITE TODAY
AS THE FLOW ALOFT BECOMES MORE WESTERLY. THIS CHANGE IN FLOW WAS THE
RESULT OF A TROUGH THAT HAS BEEN MOVING INTO THE AREA AND WILL INTRODUCE
LIMITED COOLING THROUGH OUT THE WEEK. THE WESTERLY FLOW WILL ALSO
PREVENT SIGNIFICANT CONVECTIVE DEVELOPMENT FROM OCCURRING AT THE BURN
SITE AS DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE THROUGH THE END OF WEEK.
