.DISCUSSION...
EXPECT WINDS TO DIMINISH AND SHIFT TO THE SOUTHEAST AFTER SUNSET.
THIS COULD BRING SMOKE FROM THE CHALKY FIRE TO BEAVER CREEK AS
EARLY AS LATE THIS EVENING...POSSIBLY PERSISTING THROUGH MUCH OF
TOMORROW AS SOUTHEAST WINDS SHOULD PREVAIL FOR MOST OF THIS
PERIOD. OTHERWISE EXPECT WIND SPEEDS TO REMAIN AT 10 MPH OR LESS.
THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR SOME THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY BY MONDAY
EVENING...AND THIS COULD CAUSE ERRATIC WIND GUSTS TO IMPACT THE
FIRE.
