.DISCUSSION...
UPPER LEVEL HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE OVER THE FIRE TODAY BRINGING
WARMER AND DRIER WEATHER. WARMING WILL BE SLOW TODAY SO MAXIMUM
TEMPERATURES AND MINIMUM HUMIDITY VALUES WILL BE HIT AROUND 1700.
WINDS WILL BE SLOPE ORIENTED. EXPECT A WARMER NIGHT AS A WEAK COLD
FRONT MOVES INTO THE AREA WHICH WILL KEEP INVERSIONS FROM BEING AS
DEEP. SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WILL MOVE OVER THE FIRE AREA ON FRIDAY
WHICH WILL BRING A THREAT OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS DURING THE
AFTERNOON AND EVENING. INCREASED CLOUDS WILL KEEP TEMPERATURES
COOLER AND HUMIDITY HIGHER. BORSUM
