.DISCUSSION...
A RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE OVER THE SITE TODAY PRODUCING
MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES AND WARM TEMPERATURES...BUT LOOK FOR RIDGETOP
WINDS TO BECOME STRONG AND SOUTHERLY IN THE AFTERNOON AS A STRONG
WEATHER SYSTEM APPROACHES. NORTHEASTERLY DRAINAGE WINDS EARLY
THIS MORNING MAY BE OVERCOME BY A STRONG SOUTHEAST WIND
DEVELOPING OVER THE AREA BY MID MORNING. SO WOULD BE LOOKING FOR
ANY EASTERLY WIND THIS MORNING AND PRETTY BRISK AT 10 TO 20 MPH.
WINDS WILL TURN SOUTHERLY AND UPSLOPE BY AFTERNOON AT 15 TO 30
MPH. MINIMUM HUMIDITIES SHOULD NOT BE NEARLY AS DRY AS YESTERDAY
WITH THE LOWER TO MID 20S TO NEAR 30 PERCENT COMMON ACROSS THE
BURN SITE. THERE IS A CHANCE OF SHOWERS BY EVENING...AND THIS
CHANCE WILL INCREASE OVERNIGHT. BT
