.DISCUSSION...
STRONG HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN OVER THE PROPOSED BURN SITE ONE
MORE DAY. STABLE CONDITIONS BENEATH THE RIDGE WILL BRING WARM
TEMPERATURES...BUT WILL INHIBIT THE MIXING POTENTIAL. THE RIDGE
WILL DRIFT EAST OF THE AREA LATE TONIGHT AND SUNDAY AND ALLOW A
WEAKENING WEATHER SYSTEM TO MOVE INTO THE REGION ON SUNDAY. THIS
WILL RESULT IN INCREASING CLOUDS...COOLER TEMPERATURES AND A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS. DRIER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO RETURN BY
TUESDAY AS HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS BACK INTO THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST.
