.DISCUSSION...
IT WILL REMAIN SUNNY OVER THE BURN SITE TODAY WITH LOWER CLOUDS
ALONG ROSEBUD CREEK STAYING WEST OF THE AREA. SOUTHERLY WINDS
WILL PERSIST OVER THE BURN SITE IN RESPONSE TO SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE FORMING OVER ALBERTA. THIS WILL SUPPORT A WARMER DAY BUT
THE COOL START WILL MAKE THE WARMUP SLOW AND THIS SHOULD KEEP
HUMIDITY FROM FALLING BELOW 30 PERCENT. EXPECT A GOOD RECOVERY
TONIGHT WITH SOUTH WINDS CONTINUING. FRIDAY WILL SEE A WARMER
START WITH SOUTHEAST WINDS TRENDING EAST AS A COLD FRONT
APPROACHES THE AREA. THE FRONT WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND WILL NOT
BRING A SIGNIFICANT WIND SHIFT TO THE BURN AREA. HUMIDITY MINIMUMS
WILL FALL BELOW 30 PERCENT WITH TEMPERATURES APPROACHING 80.
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL HAVE A CHANCE OF REACHING THE BURN
SITE FRIDAY EVENING. BORSUM
