.DISCUSSION...HIGH PRESSURE WILL PREVAIL OVER THE FIRE SITE FOR
THE FIRST HALF OF THIS WEEK. THIS WILL ALLOW FOR STRONGER TERRAIN
INFLUENCE OVER WINDS...HOWEVER WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LIGHT.
WHILE THIS WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT INCREASE IN RELATIVE HUMIDITY
VALUES...THE LENGTH OF TIME HIGH PRESSURE HAS BEEN IN PLACE WILL
GIVE RISE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF LOW-LEVEL SUBSIDENCE
INVERSIONS...WHICH MAY KEEP HIGHER ELEVATIONS DRIER THAN WHAT
WOULD NORMALLY BE EXPECTED AND LIMITING OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY
RECOVERIES. THIS HIGH PRESSURE IS EXPECTED TO BREAK DOWN THE
SECOND HALF OF THIS WEEK...WITH AN INCREASE IN CLOUDS AND A
POSSIBILITY FOR PRECIPITATION BY THE WEEKEND.
