.DISCUSSION...FIRE AREA IS STILL UNDER UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE SO
SKIES SHOULD REMAIN FAIRLY CLEAR TONIGHT. WINDS SHOULD TRANSITION
BACK TO SOUTHEAST EARLY THIS EVENING BUT SHOULD NOT BECOME TOO
STRONG. AN OFFSHORE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM APPROACHING THE COAST WILL
HAVE LITTLE IMPACT TONIGHT BUT WILL BRING A LITTLE COOLING WITH
SLIGHTLY HIGHER RH ON SATURDAY. THE APPROACHING SYSTEM WILL ALSO
BRING INCREASING WINDS BY SATURDAY AFTERNOON. AS THIS WEATHER SYSTEM
MOVES INTO CENTRAL CALIFORNIA ON SUNDAY IT WILL BRING CLOUDS AND A
CHANCE OF SHOWERS TO THIS AREA ON SUNDAY ALONG WITH MUCH COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND HIGHER HUMIDITY.
