.DISCUSSION...
SKIES WILL BE MOSTLY CLEAR THIS EVENING BEFORE A WEAK DISTURBANCE
TRACKS OVER THE AREA JUST BEFORE MIDNIGHT PRODUCING SOME
SCATTERED CLOUDS. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF A SPRINKLE BETWEEN
10 PM AND 3 AM...BUT I DO NOT EXPECT ANY DRY LIGHTNING AT THIS
TIME NEAR THE FIRE SITE. EASTERLY WINDS WILL PREVAIL OVERNIGHT
WITH SOUTHERLY WINDS POSSIBLE ON HIGHER RIDGES. WINDS WILL BECOME
WESTERLY BY NOON FRIDAY AT 8 TO 14 MPH WITH A FEW STRONGER GUSTS
TO NEAR 25 MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. HUMIDITY READINGS WILL DROP
TO NEAR 10 PERCENT AGAIN FRIDAY AFTERNOON. LOOK FOR A WEAK DRY
FRONTAL PASSAGE FRIDAY EVENING AROUND 8 PM...GIVE OR TAKE AN HOUR.
THIS WILL TURN THE WINDS NORTHERLY AT 8 TO 13 MPH. BT
