DISCUSSION
PARTLY CLOUDY SKIES WITH LIGHT WINDS WILL PREVAIL THROUGH THE
EVENING. AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY FROM STORMS OVER EASTERN NEW MEXICO
WILL PUSH IN FROM THE SOUTHEAST BETWEEN 10PM AND MIDNIGHT. THE
WILDFIRE SHOULD REMAIN SHELTERED FROM THE STRONGEST WINDS, WITH
PEAK WINDS ONLY AROUND 15 MPH. MOISTURE WILL INCREASE IN THE WAKE
OF THE BOUNDARY, RESULTING IN BETTER HUMIDITY RECOVERIES THAN THE
PAST COUPLE OF DAYS. STORMS WILL DEVELOP OVER THE JEMEZ MOUNTAINS
EARLY SATURDAY AFTERNOON AND MOVE SOUTHWARD. OUTFLOW WIND GUSTS
FROM THESE STORMS COULD IMPACT THE WILDFIRE, WITH THE WINDS MOST
LIKELY TO COME FROM THE EAST OR NORTHEAST.
