.DISCUSSION...INCREASING CLOUDS OVER THE FIRE WILL KEEP RHS FROM
FALLING INTO THE TEENS THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL START TO MIX
DOWN AFTER 1200 AND BE STRONGEST NEAR THE RIDGE TOP. SOME ISOLATED
SHOWERS WILL MOVE INTO THE AREA THIS AFTERNOON BUT DRY AIR NEAR
THE SURFACE WILL LIMIT ACCUMULATIONS...GUSTY WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED
NEAR ANY THUNDERSTORMS THAT DO DEVELOP. THE CHANCE OF SHOWERS
BECOMES MORE LIKELY EARLY THURSDAY AS A MUCH LARGER AND MORE MOIST
SYSTEM MOVES INTO THE AREA. THE INCREASED CLOUDS AND MOISTURE WILL
BE SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER RHS.
