.DISCUSSION...MOISTURE IS GRADUALLY INCREASING FROM THE SOUTHWEST
THIS MORNING IN ADVANCE OF A WEAK STORM SYSTEM ANTICIPATED TO
PASS THROUGH THE STATE THIS AFTERNOON/EVENING. SOUTHWEST WINDS
ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE VERSUS THE LAST FEW DAYS THIS
MORNING/AFTERNOON AS THE DISTURBANCE APPROACHES. LOOK FOR
CUMULUS BUILDUPS TO DEVELOP IN THE VICINITY OF THE WILDFIRE SITE

LIKELY IN THE 1600-2000 WINDOW. NOT EXPECTING MUCH OF A WETTING
RAIN THREAT WITH ANY PRECIPITATION THAT MAY FALL...RATHER BRIEF

WEAK COLD FRONT WILL PASS THROUGH THE SITE LATE THIS
EVENING...MOST LIKELY BETWEEN 2100 AND 2300...ALLOWING OVERNIGHT
WINDS TO PREVAIL FROM THE WEST/NORTHWEST. THAT SAID...SPEEDS WILL
BE TRENDING TO DECREASE AT THAT TIME. DRIER CONDITIONS AND
DIURNALLY DRIVEN UPSLOPE/DOWNSLOPE WINDS GENERALLY LESS THAN 10
