.DISCUSSION...TROPICAL MOISTURE WHICH BROUGHT DRY THUNDERSTORMS TO
THE AREA ON FRIDAY EVENING WILL PUSH EASTWARD ON SATURDAY. WHILE
THERE IS A VERY SMALL (LESS THAN 10% CHANCE) OF A THUNDERSTORM
SATURDAY AFTERNOON...AT THIS TIME WE EXPECT MOST STORMS TO REMAIN
EAST OF THE WILDFIRE LOCATION. WINDS WILL BECOME GUSTY OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST ONCE AGAIN HOWEVER...SO SIGNIFICANT SPREAD OF THE FIRE IS
LIKELY. WINDS WILL NOT BE AS STRONG ON SUNDAY...HOWEVER A SYSTEM
APPROACHING FROM THE PACIFIC WILL CAUSE A GREATER CHANCE OF ISOLATED
DRY THUNDERSTORMS WHICH MAY PRODUCE GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS.
