.DISCUSSION...THROUGH MONDAY...THE BURN AREA WILL BE SANDWICHED BETWEEN
AN UPPER LEVEL LOW OFF THE COAST AND AN UPPER LEVEL HIGH OVER ARIZONA.
DRY AND VERY WARM CONDITIONS ALONG WITH VERY LOW HUMIDITIES CAN BE
EXPECTED DURING THE PERIOD...EXCEPT MARINE LAYER INTRUSION DURING THE
NIGHT THROUGH MORNING HOURS WILL BRING CLOUDS AND FOG TO LOWER
ELEVATIONS OF THE BURN AREA. HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL TO NEAR
CRITICALLY LOW LEVELS ON SUNDAY AND MONDAY...ESPECIALLY AT HIGHER
ELEVATIONS. THE MARINE LAYER IS EXPECTED TO BE MORE SHALLOW SUNDAY
NIGHT AND MONDAY MORNING...POSSIBLY MAKING FOR LESS IN THE WAY OF
HUMIDITY RECOVERY AT LOWER ELEVATIONS. THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR
SOME LOCALLY GUSTY NORTHEAST WINDS LATE SUNDAY NIGHT AND MONDAY
MORNING.

SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE MAY AFFECT THE BURN AREA LATE SUNDAY NIGHT
AND MONDAY...BUT AT THIS POINT IT APPEARS THAT ANY SHOWERS WILL
REMAIN TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE BURN AREA.
