IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.
DISCUSSION
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE IN THE GENERAL AREA THROUGH EARLY TO MID
EVENING, AND MAY PRODUCE BRIEF MODERATE RAIN. ANY SHOWERS OR STORMS ARE
LIKELY TO GENERATE OUTFLOW GUSTS OF 30 TO 40 MPH, MOSTLY FAVORING A
WESTERLY DIRECTION BUT WITH SOME VARIABILITY POSSIBLE AT TIMES. OUTSIDE
OF THESE OUTFLOWS, WINDS SHOULD REMAIN WESTERLY WITH SUSTAINED 20-FT
SPEEDS MOSTLY 6-12 MPH AND GUSTS TO AROUND 20 MPH. EXPECT THESE WINDS
TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE OVERNIGHT PERIOD, WITH THE FIRE LIKELY REMAINING
FAIRLY EXPOSED TO THE PREVAILING WIND GIVEN ITS LOCATION ON THE UPPER
1/3RD OF THE SLOPE.
HUMIDITY LEVELS HAVE TAPERED THIS AFTERNOON WITH THE ONGOING SHOWER ACTIVITY
AND CLOUD COVER. SOME REDUCTION TO AROUND 30% WILL BE POSSIBLE THIS EVENING,
BUT GENERALLY VALUES SHOULD REMAIN ABOVE 30-40%.
SIMILAR CONDITIONS EXPECTED SATURDAY, WITH ONLY A SLIGHT REDUCTION IN AFTERNOON
SHOWER AND THUNDERSTORM COVERAGE, BUT CONTINUED POTENTIAL FOR BRIEF ERRATIC
OUTFLOWS AFTER 1300. TEMPERATURES WILL REMAIN WARM, WITH MINIMUM AFTERNOON
HUMIDITY IN THE 20-25% RANGE.
