...LITTLE CHANGE THROUGH SUNDAY...

.DISCUSSION...
SOUTHWEST FLOW ALOFT WITH CONTINUE WARM AIR AT THE SURFACE MEAN LITTLE CHANGE
THROUGH SUNDAY. THERMAL LOW PRESSURE CENTERED OVER THE JUNCTION OF IDAHO NEVADA
AND UTAH AND HIGH PRESSURE OVER WESTERN OREGON WILL FAVOR WEST TO NORTHWEST
WINDS ACROSS THE FIRE AREA...ALTHOUGH ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON UPSLOPE FLOW COULD
COUNTERACT THE SYNOPTIC PRESSURE GRADIENT SHIFTING THE WINDS INTO THE SOUTH
AND SOUTHEAST. THE CHANCE OF THUNDERSTORMS WILL INCREASE STARTING MONDAY
AFTERNOON...WITH THE BEST CHANCE THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND EVENING. IT IS STILL
UNCERTAIN WHETHER THESE STORMS WILL BRING WETTING RAIN.
