DISCUSSION
THE MAIN WEATHER IMPACT TO FIRE OPERATIONS TODAY WILL BE RELATED TO
BREEZY SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS AND HIGH RH THROUGH THE DAY DUE TO
ONGOING SHOWER CHANCES AND A FRONT THAT WILL MOVE THROUGH THE REGION
THIS AFTERNOON BETWEEN 1200 AND 1600 LOCAL TIME. LIGHT WINDS THIS
WILL QUICKLY INCREASE WITH GUSTS RANGING 20 TO 30 MPH THROUGH THE DAY.
STRONGEST GUSTS WILL ACCOMPANY THE FRONT WITH UP TO 35 MPH POSSIBLE
BETWEEN HEAVIER SHOWER ELEMENTS. CHANCES DIMINISH THIS EVENING AND
OVERNIGHT WITH EXCELLENT RH RECOVERIES OVER 90%; CAN'T RULE OUT SOME
FOG. ANOTHER FRONT WILL MOVE THROUGH TUESDAY AFTERNOON BRINGING
CHANCES OF THUNDERSTORMS; THERE COULD BE A FEW STRONGER VARIETY STORMS
CAPABLE OF DAMAGING WINDS.
