.DISCUSSION...
PRIMARY CONCERN WILL BE WINDS TODAY AND TONIGHT. STRONG NORTH TO
NORTHEAST WINDS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE VALLEY AND ACROSS EXPOSED
RIDGES. THE BURNSITE LOCATION IS FAR ENOUGH SOUTH THAT WINDS SHOULD
REMAIN LIGHT TO MODERATE BUT COULD EXPERIENCE LOCALIZED MODERATE TO
STRONG GUSTS. EXPECT WINDS TO LESSEN ON WEDNESDAY. OTHERWISE...HIGH
PRESSURE OVER THE WEST COAST WILL MAINTAIN MILD TEMPERATURES AND
DRY WEATHER.
