.DISCUSSION...
WEAK HIGH PRESSURE WILL BUILD IN FROM THE WEST THIS AFTERNOON AND
OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL PUT THE BURN SITE IN A MAINLY DRY NORTHWEST
FLOW. ANOTHER WEAK WAVE WILL UNDERCUT THE TROUGH TONIGHT, BUT SHOULD
HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON THE BURN UNIT EXCEPT FOR INCREASING CLOUDS.
DRY CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED SATURDAY AND INTO EARLY SUNDAY. A MUCH
STRONGER AND COOLER WEATHER PATTERN IS EXPECTED BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK AND WILL BRING INCREASING CLOUDS BY SUNDAY MORNING.
