DISCUSSION...
VERY SIMILAR CONDITIONS AS THE 39 FIRE 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.
