.DISCUSSION...
Isolated thunderstorms will continue through the evening in and
around the fire. Drier air will move in later tonight, resulting
in a decrease in overnight recoveries. Minimum RH Friday afternoon
will plummet around 20 percent compared to Thursday`s readings,
landing just above critical thresholds. Winds will be generally
light, favoring terrain influences for their direction after
transitioning to upslope persuasions in the late morning. Drier
pattern will hold through the weekend, with moisture starting on
its return Sunday. This may lead to a rogue storm or two popping
up across the nearby high terrain.
