.DISCUSSION...
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE HIGHER TERRAIN ARE NOT EXPECTED TO
REACH THE FIRE UNTIL AFTER 1800. THESE STORMS WILL PRODUCE WIND
GUSTS TO 40 MPH WITH LIGHTNING AND LIGHT RAIN. RIDGETOP WINDS ARE
NORTHERLY BUT SLOPE WINDS SHOULD REMAIN WEAK. WINDS WILL BECOME
ERRATIC AS THE CELLS REACH THE FIRE. TEMPERATURES AND RELATIVE
HUMIDITY SHOULD CHANGE LITTLE THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON
THOUGH EXPECT SKY COVER TO INCREASE. THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY WILL
WANE AROUND 2100 AND WEAK UPVALLEY FLOW WILL CONTINUE CREATING
A MODERATE HUMIDITY RECOVERY AFTER 2300. BORSUM
