DISCUSSION
RED FLAG CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE INTO THIS EVENING, WITH GUSTY

REMAIN BREEZY AND OUT OF THE WEST-SOUTHWEST, UNTIL AROUND 3AM OR
SO. A COLD FRONT WILL MOVE IN FROM THE NORTH AROUND THAT TIME,
TURNING WINDS NORTHERLY WITH GUSTS OF 30-35 MPH POSSIBLE. WINDS
WILL TURN MORE NORTHWESTERLY BEHIND THE FRONT, BUT 25-30 MPH GUSTS
WILL REMAIN THROUGH THE REST OF THE DAY.
LOW TEMPS OVERNIGHT WILL BE IN THE LOW-30S, WITH RH RECOVERY
AROUND 55 PERCENT. HIGHS FRIDAY AFTERNOON WILL BE IN MID-50S, WITH
A MIN RH RIGHT AROUND 15 PERCENT IN THE AFTERNOON. A RED FLAG
WARNING IS IN EFFECT 11AM TO 8PM.
LOOKING INTO FRIDAY NIGHT AND SATURDAY, WINDS WILL WEAKEN

INTO THE 20S OVERNIGHT, WITH RH RECOVERY EXPECTED TO AROUND 60
PERCENT. SATURDAY WILL BE A BIT WARMER, WITH HIGHS IN THE 60S, AND

SHOULD KEEP US FROM REQUIRING ANY MORE FIRE WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS
THAT DAY.
