DISCUSSION
A WEATHER DISTURBANCE WILL SPREAD A CHANCE OF SHOWERS WITH GUSTY WINDS
INTO THE SITE THIS AFTERNOON, THOUGH ODDS OF RECEIVING WETTING RAINS
WILL BE LOW UNTIL LATER TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY. A DEEPER FETCH OF
MOISTURE AND A STRONGER DISTURBANCE WILL SPREAD A BETTER CHANCE FOR
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS INTO THE AREA TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY.
CHANCES OF WETTING RAINS INCREASE THOUGH PRECIPITATION TOTALS ARE
LIKELY TO REMAIN UNDER 0.25 INCHES. WINDS WILL INCREASE SIGNIFICANTLY
ON SATURDAY WITH GUSTS UP TO 40 MPH LIKELY. HUMIDITY VALUES WILL
REMAIN ABOVE THE CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER THRESHOLD OF 15 PERCENT AND NO
RED FLAG WARNINGS ARE ANTICIPATED. HOWEVER THE RISK FOR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS DUE TO GUSTY WINDS LOW HUMIDITY WILL INCREASE ON
SUNDAY AND PORTIONS OF THE SAN LUIS VALLEY MAY REQUIRE A FIRE WEATHER
WATCH.
