.DISCUSSION...

Warm, dry and breezy conditions are expected at the burn site
today. While there will be some passing high clouds this morning,
mostly sunny skies are expected for the afternoon hours as
temperatures climb to near 100 degrees. While temperatures will
likely reach the triple digits later today, minimum relative
humidities will likely stay above 30 percent as dewpoints remain
in the 60s across the area. Given the strong heating and tight
pressure gradient, winds will be breezy out of the south again
today, with gusts to near 25 MPH expected during the afternoon
hours.
