.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN OVER THE REGION BEGINNING TODAY...FOLLOWED BY
A DRY LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT WILL MOVE SOUTH ACROSS NORCAL AND INTO NEVADA
TOWARD THE MIDDLE OF THE WEEK.  THIS WILL LEAD TO MAINLY DRY WEATHER THROUGH
THE WEEK ALONG WITH POTENTIALLY GUSTY OFFSHORE FLOW AT ELEVATIONS ABOVE 2000
FT WEDNESDAY THROUGH FRIDAY. HOWEVER GIVEN THE ELEVATION OF THE BURN SITE IT
WOULD LIKELY BE SOMEWHAT IMMUNE TO THOSE WINDS.
