.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE ALONG THE WEST COAST WILL RESULT IN BROAD NORTH TO
NORTHEAST FLOW OVER THE BURN AREA TODAY AND TOMORROW. EXPECT
STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS THAT WILL GRADUALLY EASE LATER THIS WEEKEND
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK AS THE HIGH SLOWLY WEAKENS. THE PERSISTENT RIDGE
WILL ALSO RESULT IN A TEMPERATURE INVERSION WITH LOW MIXING
HEIGHTS...SO IT WILL BE FAIRLY WARM AND DRY AT THE BURN SITE DUE
TO THE HIGHER ELEVATION. DRY WEATHER WILL CONTINUE THROUGH MOST OF
NEXT WEEK.
