.DISCUSSION...
ANOTHER DRY AND WARM DAY BUT THERE WILL BE SOME BUILDUPS OVER THE MOUNTAINS
TO THE SOUTH AND EAST WHICH COULD PRODUCE SOME GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS LATER
IN THE AFTERNOON OR EVENING. IT DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
DIRECTLY IMPACT THE FIRE BUT THERE IS AT LEAST A SMALL POTENTIAL FOR THE
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS OVER THE NEARBY MOUNTAINS TO PUSH A GUSTY OUTFLOW
ACROSS THE FIRE LATER THIS AFTERNOON OR EVENING. MOISTURE LEVELS ARE
EXPECTED TO INCREASE TONIGHT INTO THURSDAY LEADING TO ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS
ACROSS THE LOWER ELEVATIONS AND SCATTERED STORMS IN THE NEARBY MOUNTAINS.
THE POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS WILL INCREASE ON THURSDAY ALONG WITH
A SMALL CHANCE OF A THUNDERSTORM ON THE FIRE.
