DISCUSSION
EARLY MORNING RADAR INDICATES SMALL SCATTERED SHOWERS NEAR THE
BURN AREA, AND IT IS LIKELY THAT AT LEAST ONE OR TWO BRIEF RAIN
SHOWERS HAVE FALLEN ON THE BURN SITE IN THE PAST 6 HOURS.
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL REMAIN IN THE GENERAL REGION FOR MUCH OF
THE DAY, ALTHOUGH MOST HOURS WILL BE RAIN-FREE. IT IS ONE OF THOSE
DAYS WHEN IT IS HARD TO PIN DOWN EXACT TIME OF A SHOWER OR STORM
BECAUSE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE PRETTY SPORADIC. TEMPERATURES SHOULD
WARM TO THE LOWER 80S BY AFTERNOON, AND IF AN AFTERNOON STORM
DEVELOPS NEARBY, IT COULD PRODUCE A GUST UP TO 35 MPH. OTHERWISE
EXPECT PERSISTENT WINDS FROM THE SOUTHEAST WITH 20 FT WINDS OF
10-13 MPH AND OCCASIONAL GUSTS 18-20 MPH.
STRONGEST POSSIBLE WIND SPEEDS ON DAY OF BURN: 35 MPH, BUT ONLY IF A
THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPS NEARBY DURING THE AFTERNOON HOURS.
