1220 PM MDT SUN SEP 4 2011

.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE IS SHIFTING EAST TODAY ALLOWING
THE INITIAL INCREASES OF MOISTURE TO CREEP UP OUT OF ARIZONA.
MID AND HIGH LEVEL CLOUDS WILL INCREASE...BUT AS A WHOLE
WEATHER TODAY WILL REMAIN TRANQUIL WITH DIURNALLY DRIVEN
UPSLOPE/DOWNSLOPE WINDS. MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO INCREASE
TONIGHT AND HUMIDITY LEVELS AT THE HERBS WILDFIRE ARE
EXPECTED TO RECOVER MUCH BETTER THAN THE LAST FEW NIGHTS.
FOR MONDAY MOISTURE WILL BE IN PLACE AND BUILDUPS SHOULD
START AROUND MIDDAY...WITH ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS IN THE
