TO CONTINUE TO BRING SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST FLOW AT AND NEAR RIDGE TOP
LEVEL THIS EVENING THROUGH WEDNESDAY EVENING. THERE IS SOME 
UNCERTAINTY IN WIND DIRECTION AND SPEEDS OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY,
HOWEVER, AS THE MARINE LAYER IS EXPECTED TO DEEPEN. AT SOME POINT,
LIKELY NOT UNTIL WEDNESDAY EVENING, WINDS AT THE FIRE WILL BECOME
LIGHTER AND MORE VARIABLE AS THE MARINE LAYER DEEPENS UP TO THE
ELEVATION OF THE FIRE. WEDNESDAY NIGHT LIGHT TO MODERATE OFFSHORE
FLOW IS LIKELY TO RESULT IN POOR TO MODERATE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AT 
THE FIRE.
