.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD OVER THE FIRE TODAY WITH DRY
AND HOT CONDITIONS AND GENERALLY LIGHT...TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS
EXPECTED. THE NIGHTTIME HOURS WILL FEATURE MORE LIGHT WINDS WITH
POOR TO FAIR RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES...ESPECIALLY FOR THE
HIGHER PORTIONS OF THE FIRE. BY SUNDAY...DECREASING STABILITY
WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A SMALL CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS. THUNDERSTORM
CHANCE WILL INCREASE EVEN FURTHER ON SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY.
