SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...TODAY IS A VERY DIFFICULT FORECAST DAY AND CONFIDENCE
IN THE DETAILS IS VERY LOW. IT WAS RELATIVELY WARM AND QUITE DRY AT
THE BURN SITE AT 2 AM...HOWEVER...LOW PRESSURE MOVING OVERHEAD TODAY
WILL BRING A SURGE OF MOISTURE UP THE VALLEY PERHAPS AS EARLY AS
THIS MORNING. SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN THE AREA BY THIS
AFTERNOON...WHICH COULD RESULT IN FALLING TEMPERATURES AND ERRATIC
WIND SHIFTS. SOME OF THE HIGH RESOLUTION COMPUTER MODELS SUGGEST
STRONG DOWNSLOPE WINDS REACHING THE BURN SITE TODAY...AND ALTHOUGH
THIS SEEMS QUITE UNLIKELY...THERE IS STILL A SMALL CHANCE OF IT
HAPPENING. MUCH QUIETER WEATHER IS EXPECTED TOMORROW.
