FAIRLY SIMILAR CONDITIONS EXPECTED TODAY COMPARED TO THE PREVIOUS
DAY, WITH A VERY WARM AND MODERATELY DRY AIR MASS REMAINING IN PLACE
OVER THE FIRE. SOME MID LEVEL MOISTURE AND INSTABILITY WILL HELP
ENHANCE MIXING HEIGHTS FOR LARGE VERTICAL PLUME GROWTH THIS
AFTERNOON. THE LOCATION OF THE FIRE IS EXPECTED TO BE AT THE
BOUNDARY OF THE SOUTH-SOUTHEAST ONSHORE WINDS AND THE NORTHWEST WINDS, SO
WINDS COULD BE RAPIDLY CHANGING AND ERRATIC FOR THE LATE AFTERNOON
AND EARLY EVENING PERIOD (1600-1900). BY LATER THIS EVENING, A
STEADIER NORTHWEST FLOW PATTERN IS EXPECTED TO ESTABLISH FOR THE
REST OF THE NIGHT. THERE IS A 5 PERCENT CHANCE OF A NEARBY
THUNDERSTORM THIS AFTERNOON.
