.DISCUSSION...

SLOW MOVING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED INTO THIS
EVENING WITH THE FIRE AREA LIKELY TO RECEIVE SOME RAIN. HEAVY RAIN IS
POSSIBLE ON THE FIRE IF A THUNDERSTORM MOVES THROUGH. FOR TONIGHT
A MORE ORGANIZED DISTURBANCE WRAPPING AROUND THE LOW WILL LIKELY
RESULT IN MORE RAIN SHOWERS OVER THE AREA. THIS LOW WILL BEGIN TO
WEAKEN AND SLOWLY TRACK EAST OVER THE WEEKEND BUT LINGERING
INSTABILITY AND LOW LEVEL MOISTURE COULD GENERATE ANOTHER ROUND OF
SCATTERED SHOWERS AND POSSIBLE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ON SATURDAY.
MUCH WARMER TEMPERATURES AND LOWER HUMIDITIES ARE EXPECTED NEXT
WEEK.
