.DISCUSSION...

ISOLATED HIGH BASED THUNDERSTORMS WERE DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS
TO THE SOUTHWEST OF THE AREA.  THE MAIN THREAT WITH THESE THUNDERSTORMS
WILL BE LOCALIZED GUSTY WINDS UP TO 45 MPH.  THESE WINDS WILL SPREAD
OUT WELL AHEAD OF THUNDERSTORMS AND COULD AFFECT THE FIRE AREA WITH THE
PARENT THUNDERSTORMS WELL AWAY FROM THE REGION. ALTHOUGH WIND DIRECTIONS
FROM THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS COULD BE ERRATIC...INITIAL WINDS WOULD MOST LIKELY
INITIALLY SHIFT OUT OF THE SOUTH OR SOUTHWEST.  AS THUNDERSTORMS MOVE
EAST OF THE AREA THIS EVENING...OUTFLOWS MAY CAUSE WINDS TO SHIFT BACK
OUT OF THE EAST.  IF DIRECTLY HIT BY A THUNDERSTORM...BRIEF MODERATE
RAINFALL AND LIGHTNING WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE.

ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON
WITH A BETTER CHANCE FOR A WETTING RAINFALL.
