DISCUSSION
TEMPERATURES AT THE SPECIFIED RAWS SITE HAVE BEEN IN THE UPPER 20S
EARLY THIS MORNING. THE STATION IS REPORTING A RH AT 37% AT LATEST
CHECK, WHICH SEEMS UNREASONABLE FOR THIS TIME OF DAY AND COMPARED
TO NEIGHBORING STATIONS REPORTING RH VALUES IN THE 80-85% RANGE. COOL
AND DRY TODAY, BUT WARMER THAN IT HAS BEEN THE PAST FEW DAYS.
MOISTURE SLIGHTLY INCREASES TODAY AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING SYSTEM.
HOWEVER, AFTERNOON RH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO BE IN THE 35-40%
RANGE AT THE BURN SITE. EXCELLENT RECOVERY IS EXPECTED OVERNIGHT
AS PRECIPITATION BEGINS MOVING INTO THE AREA NEAR THE BURN SITE,
VERY LIKELY IN THE FORM OF SNOW. FOG CHANCES REMAIN LOW, HOWEVER.
WINDS BECOME EASTERLY AROUND 5-10 MPH TODAY, TRANSITIONING TO
NORTHEASTERLY AND INCREASING OVERNIGHT. SNOW AND BREEZY CONDITIONS
ARE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THROUGH THE DAY ON SATURDAY.
