DISCUSSION
A WEAK WEATHER SYSTEM WILL BRING SHOWERS AND
THUNDERSTORMS AROUND THE AREA THIS MORNING. ANY PRECIPITATION WHICH
FALLS ON THE BURN SITE SHOULD REMAIN .10" OR LESS. OTHERWISE STRONG
SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW WILL BEGIN MIXING DOWN BY MID MORNING, WITH
20-FOOT GUSTS EXCEEDING 30 MPH THOUGH MUCH OF THE LATE MORNING AND
AFTERNOON. DRIER AIR WORKING INTO THE AREA WILL ALLOW RH TO FALL
BACK INTO THE MID-20 PERCENT RANGE BY EARLY AFTERNOON. WINDS WILL
DECEASE THIS EVENING, BUT REMAIN A BIT GUSTY FROM THE SOUTH
OVERNIGHT.
ENHANCED SOUTHWESTERLY WINDS WILL REDEVELOP BY MID-MORNING SUNDAY
AND PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF THE DAY, AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM. THIS LOW WILL BRING PERIODS OF SNOW (70% CHANCE)
SUNDAY NIGHT INTO MONDAY. THIS SYSTEM IS NOW LOOKING TO COME
THROUGH THE REGION PIECEMEAL, AND AS A RESULT PRECIPITATION TOTALS
HAVE DECREASED, AND NOW LOOK TO END UP IN THE .10-.25" RANGE WITH
AN INCH OR SO OF SNOW. ANOTHER SYSTEM WILL BRING A CHANCE FOR LIGHT
PRECIPITATION THURSDAY, ALTHOUGH THE BRUNT OF THAT SYSTEM LOOKS TO
PASS NORTH OF THE SITE.
