.DISCUSSION...
Cooler and wetter weather is expected through Saturday, with
widespread rainfall tonight diminishing tomorrow morning and
ending by mid-to-late afternoon. Widely scattered thunderstorms
will be possible through this evening. As of the issuance of this
forecast, there was an area of storms located over the eastern
Fortymile Uplands east of the Taylor Highway moving to the west to
southwest, which could bring them into the vicinity of the fire
site. Any storms will bring the chance for increased rainfall
rates and gusty winds. Outflow winds could reach the fire before
the storms themselves. Aside from any thunderstorm-induced winds,
winds will generally blow from the southwest, with higher winds
over ridgetops and on the southeast side of the fire site. Final
rainfall totals could exceed half of an inch.

As rain in the area ends Saturday, highs will rise back into the
upper 60s and lower 70s on Saturday and Sunday, with min RH values
remaining above 40 percent or so. Temperatures will rise through
early next week, with some drying and more sun. Stronger southwest
winds will fall off by Sunday afternoon and becoming light.
Chances for thunderstorms will return by midweek.
