.DISCUSSION...
SIMILAR CONDITIONS EXPECTED THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. A PUSH OF
MOISTURE FROM THE EAST WILL LIKELY NOT QUITE BE DEEP ENOUGH OR FAR
WEST ENOUGH TO BRING RELIEF TO THE BURN AREA. BUT THERE WILL LIKELY
BE ENOUGH MOISTURE AROUND FOR ISOLATED DRY THUNDERSTORMS TO
DEVELOP EACH AFTERNOON. WINDS GENERALLY EXPECTED TO BE LESS THAN
10 MPH TODAY...BUT COULD GET FAIRLY GUSTY NEAR THUNDERSTORMS WITH
THE DRY LOWER LEVELS. HIGH TEMPERATURES WILL BE AROUND 80 THROUGH
FRIDAY AND GOING INTO THE WEEKEND EXPECT ABOUT A 5 DEGREE WARMUP
AS A STRONG UPPER HIGH BUILDS IN OVER THE REGION.
