EXPECT CALM NIGHTS WITH INCREASING CHANCES FOR A MARINE LAYER
SURGE UP THE VALLEY. AFTERNOONS WILL SEE POTENTIALLY FAVORABLE BURNING CONDITIONS,
ESPECIALLY DUE TO THE S FACING ASPECT HEATING UP AND DRYING THE FUELS BY MIDDAY.
WINDS WILL CONTINUE TO BE UPVALLEY WITH AFTERNOON GUSTS UP TO 20MPH TO BE EXPECTED.
A VERY SMALL CHANCE OF AFTERNOON STORMS IS POSSIBLE IN THE KLAMATH RIVER BASIN. IF
STORMS DUE FORM AND DIE UP VALLEY, WINDS HAVE A CHANCE TO FUNNEL DOWN THE BURN SITE
WITH ERRATIC GUSTS UP TO 30MPH. THIS IS A VERY UNLIKELY, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE, CHANCE.
