.DISCUSSION...DRY AIRMASS TONIGHT WITH MOSTLY CLEAR CONDITIONS.
A SERIES OF WEAK WEATHER SYSTEMS WILL START TO AFFECT THE NORTHERN

EXPECTED TO REMAIN NORTH OF THE BURN AREA AND WINDS WILL REMAIN
TERRAIN DRIVEN AND LIGHT SO CLEARING INDEX IS EXPECTED TO BE BELOW
500. THE SECOND OF THESE SYSTEMS WILL DROP FURTHER SOUTH AND WILL
ALLOW AN INCREASE IN WINDS ENOUGH ON WEDNESDAY TO BOOST CLEARING
INDEX ABOVE 500. SOME PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED AS WELL...ALBEIT
LIGHT. SNOW LEVELS WILL BEGIN NEAR 9000 TO 9500 FEET BUT THEN COME
DOWN WEDNESDAY NIGHT IN THE WAKE OF THIS SYSTEM. IN THE LONGER
