.DISCUSSION...THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR ANOTHER SHOWER TO PASS
OVER THE PROPOSED BURN TODAY BUT IS BECOMING MORE UNLIKELY
ESPECIALLY THIS AFTERNOON. THE MINIMUM RH IS STILL UNDER QUESTION
SINCE THE PREVIOUS SHOWER BROUGHT MORE MOISTURE AND THE
CURRENT CLOUD COVER IS MAKING HEATING SLOW. THERE WILL BE MORE
BREAKS IN THE CLOUD COVER THIS AFTERNOON THAT WILL ALLOW FOR MORE
HEATING BUT IT WILL BE TOUGH TO HAVE LOW RHS FOR ANY PERIOD OF
TIME. CLOUD COVER WILL DECREASE ON SATURDAY WITH MORE WIND
EXPECTED AND A LITTLE WARMER HIGH TEMP.
