.DISCUSSION...

EXPECT SUNNY SKIES AND LIGHT ESE WINDS AROUND 5 MPH THAT WILL
GRADUALLY BECOME MORE SE DURING THE COURSE OF THE LATE AFTERNOON.
SINCE THE WINDS ARE SO LIGHT, BE PREPARED FOR SOME VARIABILITY IN
THE DIRECTION. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY SHOULD BE AROUND 25 TO 30
PERCENT. I USED THE RAWS OBSERVATIONS NEAR HINCKLEY AS A GUIDE TO
CURRENT CONDITIONS NEAR THE BURN LOCATION TO UPDATE THE FORECAST
THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON.

TOMORROW SHOULD BE WARMER, BUT NOT NEARLY AS DRY AND WITH A THREAT
OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS.
