DISCUSSION...
VERY SIMILAR CONDITIONS AS THE 39 AND WINDMILL 9 FIRES EXPECTED
TODAY. MOISTURE PLUME REMAINS OVER WESTERN NEW MEXICO WHICH WILL
LEAD TO A CHANCE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON. IF A
THUNDERSTORM MOVES DIRECTLY OVERHEAD OF THE BURN AREA...THERE WILL
BE A CHANCE OF DECENT WETTING RAINS. OTHERWISE...STORMS WILL BE IN
THE VICINITY WHICH WILL LEAD TO GUSTY AND ERRATIC THUNDERSTORM
OUTFLOWS. ASIDE FROM THE STORM CHANCES...THE HEAT WILL BE THE MAIN
STORY FOR TODAY WITH TEMPERATURES UP TO 5 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL...LEADING TO DAYTIME RELATIVE HUMIDITIES NEAR OR JUST BELOW
20 PERCENT. FAIR RECOVERIES ARE EXPECTED OVERNIGHT. DRIER AIR WILL
FILTER IN FROM THE NORTHWEST ON FRIDAY...LIMITING THE CHANCES FOR
THUNDERSTORMS. HOWEVER...IT IS POSSIBLE THAT STORMS WILL DEVELOP
SOUTH OF ZUNI PUEBLO AND GUSTY OUTFLOWS MAY STILL IMPACT THE BURN
AREA.
