DISCUSSION
THUNDERSTORM CHANCES OVER THE BURN SCAR WILL BE MODERATE TO HIGH
THROUGH WEDNESDAY AS MONSOON MOISTURE INCREASES OVER THE AREA.
THERE WILL BE THE POSSIBILITY OF RAINFALL AMOUNTS SUFFICIENT TO
CAUSE LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING ON THE BURN SCAR MOST DAYS, THOUGH
WEDNESDAY APPEARS TO HAVE THE GREATEST RISK FOR HEAVY RAINFALL.
WINDS WILL BE LIGHT DOWNSLOPE/DOWNVALLEY OVERNIGHT INTO THE MORNING
HOURS BEFORE BECOMING BREEZY FROM THE WEST TO NORTHWEST AT AROUND
10-20 MPH MOST AFTERNOONS. THE EXCEPTION WILL BE NEAR THUNDERSTORMS
WHERE ERRATIC GUSTS UP TO 45 MPH WILL BE POSSIBLE. TEMPERATURES WILL
GRADUALLY COOL THROUGH THE PERIOD DUE TO GREATER THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE AND RESULTANT COOL THUNDERSTORM OUTFLOWS.
