.DISCUSSION...THUNDERSTORMS ARE FORECAST TO DEVELOP FARTHER TO THE
NORTH TOMORROW AFTERNOON AND POSSIBLY AFFECT THE BURN LOCATION DURING
THE LATE AFTERNOON THROUGH EARLY EVENING HOURS. THE ATMOSPHERE IS DRYING
SO WE EXPECT THESE THUNDERSTORMS TO BE A BIT DRIER WITH LESSER CHANCES
FOR A WETTING RAIN BUT STILL WITH FREQUENT DOWN STRIKES. ANOTHER HOT DAY
IS ALSO EXPECTED WITH AFTERNOON WINDS INCREASING AS THE ATMOSPHERE BECOMES
WELL MIXED. RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD DIP A BIT LOWER TOMORROW AS
WELL.
