DISCUSSION
CONDITIONS TUESDAY LOOK TO BE FAIRLY SIMILAR TO THAT OF
MONDAY. WINDS ARE FAVORED TO INCREASE OUT OF THE SOUTHWEST
THROUGH THE MORNING, BECOMING SUSTAINED AROUND 10-20 MPH WITH
GUSTS GENERALLY UP TO AROUND 25 MPH THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THERE
WILL BE A LOW (AROUND 10%) CHANCE OF CONVECTION IMPACTING THE BURN
SITE, BRINGING POTENTIAL FOR GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS AND LIGHTNING.
MODELS SUPPORT PROPAGATING OUTFLOW POTENTIAL EVEN FROM DISTANT
STORMS MAY PUSH THROUGH THE BURN SITE LATE TUESDAY EVENING.
GENERALLY WOULD EXPECT THESE FROM THE NORTHWEST AROUND 25-30 MPH,
BUT CONFIDENCE IN EXACT DETAILS IS A BIT LOW AT THIS TIME. WINDS
WOULD THEN BE LIKELY TO BEGIN TO RELAX AND FAVOR MORE A TERRAIN
DRIVEN DOWN-CANYON FLOW TO LIGHT AND VARIABLE. WINDS WILL PICK
BACK UP SOME ON WEDNESDAY, AND CONVECTIVE POTENTIAL DECREASES A
BIT MORE.
PRECIPITATION CHANCES BECOME MORE OR LESS NIL FROM THURSDAY
ONWARD. OVERNIGHT HUMIDITY RECOVERIES WILL ONCE AGAIN BECOME
INCREASINGLY POOR, AND DAYTIME MINIMUM VALUES WILL FALL INTO THE
LOW TEENS TO SINGLE DIGITS. THERE IS GOOD CONSENSUS ON A STRONG
RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE BECOMING ESTABLISHED THROUGH THE WEEKEND,
BRINGING WIDESPREAD NEAR RECORD TO RECORD TEMPERATURES.
