DISCUSSION...ANOTHER VERY HOT AND DRY DAY IN STORE. HOWEVER A
SIGNIFICANT WEATHER CHANGE TO ONSHORE OR WESTERLY WINDS WILL OCCUR AS
EARLY AS THIS AFTERNOON. THIS WILL REPRESENT A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
WIND PATTERN FROM WHAT WAS OBSERVED TUESDAY ON THE FIRE. EYE LEVEL
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE LIGHT AND SLOPE DRIVEN...HOWEVER WINDS JUST
ABOVE THE SURFACE WILL SWITCH TO A WESTERLY DIRECTION BY MIDDAY AND
THEN GRADUALLY INCREASE THROUGH THE AFTERNOON/EVENING. THIS WILL PUSH
ANY SMOKE TO THE EAST AND TEST CONTAINMENT LINES.

ESTABLISHED FIRE IS A WATCH OUT SITUATION FOR FIRES IN THE EAST BAY!
