.DISCUSSION...THE COMBINATION OF AN INCOMING UPPER LEVEL WAVE AND
SOME MONSOONAL MOISTURE MOVING UP FROM THE SOUTH WILL INCREASE THE
CHANCE OF SOME SHOWERS OR THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE FIRE. THE
THUNDERSTORMS SHOULD HOLD OFF UNTIL AFTER 4PM TODAY. THERE DOES
NOT APPEAR TO BE MUCH MOISTURE ASSOCIATED WITH THESE
STORMS...SO DO NOT EXPECT WETTING RAINS...BUT ERRATIC GUSTY WINDS
AND LIGHTNING ARE VERY POSSIBLE.
