DISCUSSION
DRY CONDITIONS CONTINUE BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW, WITH A LOW PROBABILITY
(<15%) FOR ANY SHOWERS/THUNDERSTORMS AT THE FIRE LOCATION. EXPECT
TEMPERATURES TO CLIMB INTO THE MID/UPPER 80'S THIS AFTERNOON, WITH A FEW
DEGREES OF WARMING ON THURSDAY. WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN QUITE LIGHT,
WITH PREVAILING DIRECTION MOSTLY OUT OF THE NORTH EACH AFTERNOON IN
ALIGNMENT WITH THE RIVER DRAINAGE. MORE EXPOSED RIDGETOPS SHOULD SEE
MORE OF A WESTERLY COMPONENT AND WILL BE MORE PRONE TO STRONGER GUSTS
APPROACHING 20 MPH THIS AFTERNOON, OR 25 MPH TOMORROW. EXPECT SCATTERED
SHOWER/THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT THROUGH THIS AFTERNOON OVER THE HIGHER
TERRAIN DUE NORTH OF THE BOOK CLIFFS. THERE'S A SMALL CHANCE THAT SOME
OF THIS CONVECTION COULD HOLD TOGETHER LONG ENOUGH TO IMPACT THE VICINITY
OF THE FIRE LOCATION, IN WHICH CASE BRIEF HIGHER GUSTS WOULD BE POSSIBLE.
OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERY WILL REMAIN MODERATE, ALBEIT WITH SLIGHT
IMPROVEMENT COMPARED TO LAST NIGHT, CLIMBING TO NEAR 50%. DAYTIME MINIMUM
HUMIDITY VALUES WILL REMAIN IN THE LOW/MID TEENS BOTH TODAY AND TOMORROW.
THURSDAY WILL BRING A SLIGHT REDUCTION IN DIURNAL CLOUD COVER AND WARMER
TEMPERATURES, WILL SIMILAR HUMIDITY AND WIND CONDITIONS. A FEW BREEZIER
GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE AFTERNOON NEARING 20 MPH WITHIN THE RIVER
DRAINAGE.
