IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...HIGH DEBRIS CLOUDINESS WILL SPREAD OVER THE FIRE
TONIGHT HELPING TO KEEP OVERNIGHT CONDITIONS A BIT WARMER. POOR
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS MUCH OF THE FIRE...BUT
MORE PRONOUNCED TONIGHT THAN WEDNESDAY NIGHT. THIS MAINLY DUE TO
SLOWLY INCREASING AMOUNTS OF CLOUDS AND MOISTURE OVER THE FIRE
BETWEEN NOW AND WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON. THESE CLOUDS WILL PRODUCE A
FEW DEGREES DROP IN AFTERNOON HIGH TEMPERATURES...THOUGH MINIMUM
HUMIDITY READINGS MAY STILL BRIEFLY FALL INTO THE LOWER TEENS. THERE
MAY BE ENOUGH MOISTURE FOR A VERY SLIGHT CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM.
BUT ANY PRECIPITATION WILL BE SPOTTY. BETTER CHANCES FOR RAIN AND
LIGHTNING EXIST THURSDAY AND FRIDAY EVENINGS.
