.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT AND A SURFACE THERMAL TROUGH WILL SHIFT EAST
OF THE CASCADES TODAY. WE EXPECT MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES THOUGH WITH
LOW MINIMUM AFTERNOON RH VALUES. THERE WILL ALSO BE A SLIGHT
UPTICK IN NORTHERLY WINDS COMPARED TO YESTERDAY. A PUSH OF MARINE
AIR WILL CROSS THE BURN AREA BY THIS EVENING AND ESPECIALLY
OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL BRING IN COOLER AIR AND HIGHER
RH VALUES WEDNESDAY, BUT ALSO GUSTIER AFTERNOON WINDS. RESIDUAL
MOISTURE AND COOLER MARINE AIR SHOULD PROVIDE DECENT RH VALUES
THURSDAY WITH PERHAPS SLIGHTLY WEAKER AFTERNOON WINDS.
