DISCUSSION
A MILD AIRMASS WILL REMAIN IN PLACE TODAY WITH
SOUTHWEST WINDS INCREASING AHEAD OF AN APPROACHING STORM SYSTEM.
THESE WINDS WILL FURTHER INCREASE OVERNIGHT INTO SATURDAY, THEN
CONTINUE THROUGH MONDAY. WIND GUSTS SATURDAY THROUGH MONDAY,
POTENTIALLY PEAKING IN THE 25-35 MPH RANGE, WILL LIKELY MEET RED
FLAG CRITERIA. HOWEVER, RISING HUMIDITIES WILL PRECLUDE THE NEED
FOR ANY WARNINGS.
ISOLATED, GENERALLY WEAK, RAIN SHOWERS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP
OVER/NEAR THE BURN SITE TODAY. INCREASING MOISTURE ON SATURDAY
WILL RESULT IN INCREASED COVERAGE OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS AS
WELL AS WETTING RAIN. WHILE THESE SHOWERS BEGIN TO INCREASE
SATURDAY MORNING, THE MORE SUBSTANTIAL RAINFALL WILL BEGIN
SATURDAY AFTERNOON. HIGH WETTING RAIN CHANCES WILL CONTINUE
THROUGH SUNDAY AS REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM RACHEL MOVE THROUGH.
THEREAFTER, A SLOW-MOVING STORM SYSTEM WILL CROSS THE AREA
THROUGH TUESDAY OR WEDNESDAY, WHICH WILL CONTINUE TO BRING PERIODS
OF WETTING RAIN TO THE BURN SITE.
