.DISCUSSION...
TONIGHT WILL BE THE BEGINNING OF A SERIES OF NIGHTS WITH LIGHT
OFFSHORE FLOW. THIS SHOULD ENHANCE DRAINAGE FLOW SLIGHTLY OUT OF THE
EAST, BUT LOCAL TERRAIN SHOULD RESULT IN MORE OF A SOUTHEAST WIND.
ON WEDNESDAY EXPECT IT TO BE A LITTLE WARMER BUT NOT QUITE AS DRY AS
TODAY. WINDS SHOULD MORE DEFINITIVELY FOLLOW THE LOCAL
VALLEY-MOUNTAIN CIRCULATION PATTERN. RECOVERIES WILL BE MODERATE TO
POOR ACROSS THE NEARBY RIDGES, BUT MODERATE TO GOOD IN THE VALLEYS.
THUS, SHOULD THE FIRE GAIN ELEVATION THE WEATHER WILL BE MORE
FAVORABLE FOR BURNING THAN IT WILL BE DOWN LOWER, ESPECIALLY
OVERNIGHT.
