WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE BURN AREA THROUGH
MID-WEEK. A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED POOR
OVERNIGHT RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES. THERE IS A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS DEVELOPING OVER THE MOUNTAINS OF SOUTHERN B C THIS
AFTERNOON WHICH COULD BRING GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS TO THE FIRE. NO BIG
CHANGES UNTIL AT LEAST THURSDAY WHEN THE NEXT WEAK WAVE IS EXPECTED.
THIS WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND BETTER RH
RECOVERIES...BUT ALSO BREEZY WINDS.
