.DISCUSSION...THE COMBINATION OF AN LOW PRESSURE OVER NORTHERN
BAJA AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER IDAHO WILL PRODUCE A DRY EASTERLY FLOW
ACROSS THE BURN AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOME GUSTY WINDS ARE
POSSIBLE OVER THE SURROUNDING RIDGES. HIGH PRESSURE WILL THEN BUILD
SOUTHWARD ACROSS THE BURN AREA AND REMAIN THROUGH MUCH OF THE
UPCOMING WEEK. DRY WEATHER CONTINUE WITH LIGHT TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS.
