.DISCUSSION...
DECENTLY STRONG ONSHORE PRESSURE GRADIENTS WILL CONTINUE THROUGH
MONDAY...RESULTING IN GUSTY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS IN THE AFTERNOONS
AND EARLY EVENINGS AT THE HATHAWAY FIRE...WITH LIGHTER NORTHERLY
DOWNSLOPE WINDS AT NIGHT AND IN THE EARLY MORNINGS. THE LOWER SLOPES
OF THE BURN AREA ARE LIKELY TO FEEL MORE OF A WESTERLY DIRECTION TO
THE AFTERNOON/EARLY EVENING WINDS DUE TO THE CLOSER PROXIMITY TO THE
BANNING PASS IN THOSE AREAS...WHILE THE UPPER SLOPES AND RIDGE-TOPS
SHOULD FEEL MORE OF A SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY UPSLOPE DIRECTION.

HUMIDITIES WILL CONTINUE TO FALL INTO THE TEENS.
HOWEVER...HUMIDITIES OVERALL SHOULD TREND UPWARD GOING INTO EARLY
NEXT WEEK AS A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE NEARS THE PACIFIC
NORTHWEST...BRINGING SOME INCREASE IN MOISTURE GETTING DRAWN UP
FROM THE DEEPENING MARINE LAYER.

A BUILDING RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE ALOFT FOR THE MIDDLE AND LATER
PART OF NEXT WEEK WILL BRING DRYING AND WARMING TO THE BURN
AREA...WITH SOMEWHAT WEAKER WINDS.
