AND TEMPERATURE EXPECTED. IT SHOULD BE MENTIONED THAT A SIGNIFCANT
DRY SLOT SITS UP AT 10000 FEET AND IS AFFECTING THE HIGHER TERRAIN
SURROUNDING THE BURN SITE BUT IS NOT EXPECTED TO SURFACE AT THE BURN
SITE. A SMATTERING OF HIGH CLOUDS ORIGINATING FROM THE BAJA WILL
OVERSPREAD THE AREA DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
