WILL BEGIN TO DECREASE IN SPEED AND BECOME DOWNSLOPE. DOWNSLOPE WINDS SHOULD
CONTINUE THROUGH 1000 FRIDAY MORNING. HUMIDITIES WILL REMAIN IN THE LOW TO
MID 20'S AT BEST THROUGH THE NIGHT AND EARLY MORNING HOURS.
AFTER 1000 FRIDAY...WINDS WILL INCREASE FROM THE SOUTHWEST...SIMILAR
TO TODAY...WITH GUSTS TO 25 MPH POSSIBLE. STRONGEST WINDS  WILL BE IN
THE MOST EXPOSED AREAS OF THE FIRE. THIS WILL AGAIN CREATE CRITICAL
FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS WITH LARGE PLUME DOMINATED FIRE GROWTH EXPECTED.
