DISCUSSION
BROAD HIGH PRESSURE WILL REMAIN IN PLACE OVER THE BURN
AREA THROUGH THE NEXT SEVERAL DAYS, BRINGING LARGELY CLEAR, WARM,
AND MODERATELY DRY CONDITIONS. THROUGH THE REMAINDER OF TODAY,
TERRAIN DRIVEN FLOWS WILL DOMINATE THE BURN AREA, WITH A BROAD
EASTERLY WIND EXPECTED ACROSS THE RIDGES AND BROADER VALLEY AREAS.
UPSLOPE FLOWS ARE EXPECTED OTHERWISE ON MORE SHELTERED SLOPES.
OVERNIGHT, DIURNAL FLOWS WILL BE MAINTAINED, SHIFTING TO A
DOWNSLOPE FLOW IN SHELTERED AREAS AND A WESTERLY FLOW ON RIDGES
WITH FAIR TO GOOD RECOVERY. ANOTHER DAY OF DIURNAL FLOWS IS
EXPECTED ON SATURDAY ALONGSIDE MODERATELY DRY AFTERNOON HUMIDITY.
THE BIGGEST LIMITING FACTOR DURING THE AFTERNOON WILL BE THE
INCREASED COVERAGE OF HIGH-LEVEL CLOUD COVER, BRINGING PERIODS OF
SHADING ON FUELS.
