.DISCUSSION...
Showers from earlier this afternoon appeared to have largely missed
the burn area. However, there is still a very low chance for a stray
shower through 8 PM. Winds will generally remain from the southeast
this evening, but could be briefly gusty and erratic from any nearby
showers. Excellent humidity recovery is in store tonight with near
100 percent humidity shortly before sunrise. It will be hot again
on Friday with an afternoon high near 99 degrees and minimum humidity
levels near 37 percent. There will be another chance for late
afternoon into early evening showers and storms again on Friday.
Another hot day is anticipated on Saturday with a high near 100
degrees and minimum humidity levels near 38 percent. As of now,
it looks like any rain chances will remain east of the burn area
on Saturday.
