.DISCUSSION...A PASSING LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL DRAG A DRY COLD
FRONT OVER THE FIRE THIS EVENING. THIS WILL CAUSE WINDS TO INCREASE
AND BECOME GUSTY FROM THE SOUTHWEST WHILE THUNDERSTORMS FORM AND
PASS TO THE NORTH AND SOUTHEAST OF THE FIRE. SOME OF THE GUSTY
WIND FROM THE THUNDERSTORMS TO THE NORTH OF THE FIRE MAY CAUSE
BRIEF ERRATIC WIND SHIFTS. COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED MONDAY
BUT MODERATE UPPER LEVEL WINDS WILL MIX DOWN IN THE AFTERNOON
AND ALLOW FOR MORE GUSTY WIND AT TIMES.
