LOCALIZED CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER IS FORECAST TO CONTINUE
THROUGH THE WEEKEND. VERY DRY HUMIDIDITES FROM ~1500FT UPWARD WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH THE DAY AS WELL. HOT TEMPERATURES ARE EXPECTED, ESPECIALLY WITH THE
WESTERLY ASPECT OF THE FIRE AREA. EXPECT LIGHTER TO MODERATE WINDS IN THE
MORNING BEFORE WINDS INCREASE WITHIN THE VALLEY FROM AROUND 2PM THROUGH SUNSET.
THE COMBINATION OF ENHANCED WIND SPEEDS AND LOW RH VALUES WILL LIKELY LEAD TO
RED FLAG CONDITIONS WITHIN THE BURN SITE THIS AFTERNOON. WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO
CALM TONIGHT TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE AS RH RECOVERIES. SUNDAY WILL SEE SIMILAR
CONDITIONS WITH SLIGHLYLESS EXTREME DAYTIME HEATING.
SMOKE: MIXING HEIGHTS SEEM TO BE LOWER THAN THE SURROUNDING TERRAIN FOR MOST OF THE
DAYTIME HOURS WHICH CLOUD LEAD TO LOCALIZED PATCHY AREAS OF SMOKE REMAINING IN THE VALLEY.
