ALTHOUGH WINDS WILL BE RELATIVELY LIGHT TODAY, CONFIDENCE IN
WIND DIRECTION IS LOW AS A CONVERGENCE LINE WAS NOTED IN THE
HIGH RESOLUTION DATA RUNNING ROUGHLY ALONG THE HIGHWAY 115
CORRIDOR. WEST OF THIS LINE, THE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE FROM
THE WEST AT 10 TO 20 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 25 MPH, WHILE EAST OF
THIS LINE WINDS ARE FORECAST TO BE SOUTHEAST AT 10 TO 15 MPH.
BASED ON THIS, IT WILL BE POSSIBLE THAT ON THE EAST SIDE OF
THE FIRE, WINDS THIS AFTERNOON WILL BE FROM THE SOUTHEAST,
WHILE THE WEST SIDE OF THE FIRE THE WINDS COULD BE FROM THE
WEST.
BY LATER THIS EVENING WINDS WILL BECOME LIGHT, LESS THAN 6 MPH,
BUT SHOULD TREND TO NORTHWEST AT 4 TO 8 MPH. LATER TONIGHT,
WINDS MAY PICK UP FROM THE NORTHWEST AT 10 TO 20 MPH WITH
SOME GUSTS TO 25 MPH.
WINDS TOMORROW WILL BECOME SOUTH TO SOUTHWEST AT 10 TO 15 MPH
WITH SOME GUSTS TO 25 MPH AT TIME, ESPECIALLY IN THE AFTERNOON.
