...SHOWERS THROUGH MIDDAY WITH GUSTY WEST WINDS TODAY...

DISCUSSION...A WEAK SYSTEM WILL PASS OVER THE AREA TODAY. EXPECT SOME
LIGHT SHOWERS THROUGH THE MORNING HOURS...DECREASING BY EARLY
AFTERNOON. ANY SHOWERS COULD HAVE LOCALLY GUSTY WINDS. LIGHT
SOUTHERLY WINDS WILL SWITCH TO WEST/NORTHWEST RIGHT AROUND THE TIME
OF IGNITION AS A FRONTAL BOUNDARY PASSES THROUGH THE AREA. IN GENERAL
WINDS DONT LOOK TO BE TOO STRONG (BY ANGEL ISLAND STANDARDS) TODAY
BUT STRONG ENOUGH TO RAISE CONCERNS FOR ANY BURNING. LOOKING AHEAD
FRIDAY IS LOOKING FAVORABLE WITH AN OFFSHORE WIND SET-UP. THIS WOULD
BRING LIGHT NORTH/NORTHEAST WINDS TO THE BURN-SITE UNLESS ITS EXPOSED
TO STRONGER NORTHEAST WINDS DRAINING OUT OF THE DELTA REGION.
