.DISCUSSION...WIDELY SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING WEST OF THE
BURN SITE WILL CROSS THE AREA THROUGH THIS EVENING BEFORE THESE
STORMS DIMINISH WITH THE LOSS OF DAYTIME HEATING. THESE STORMS ARE
CAPABLE OF PRODUCING WETTING RAIN...WHILE GUSTY WINDS ARE ALSO
LIKELY. OTHERWISE...A MOIST AIRMASS IN PLACE WILL RESULT IN
EXCELLENT OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES. THE AIRMASS WILL DRY A BIT
TOMORROW...WITH TEMPERATURES ALSO REBOUNDING. HOWEVER...WIDELY
SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WITH THE POTENTIAL FOR WETTING RAIN ARE
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AGAIN TOMORROW. THESE STORMS TOMORROW WILL
MOSTLY BE DIURNAL IN NATURE AND FOCUS OVER THE HIGH TERRAIN. THE
WARMING/DRYING TREND WILL CONTINUE INTO THE WEEKEND...BUT ENOUGH
MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TO KEEP SOME CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS IN PLACE...AGAIN WITH MOST TIED TO THE HIGH TERRAIN.
OTHERWISE...WINDS OUTSIDE OF SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS WILL REMAIN
RELATIVELY LIGHT THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
