.DISCUSSION...
Unseasonably warm temperatures are expected for Central California
extending into the weekend as high pressure builds in across the
region. An influx of monsoonal moisture from the southwest,
resulting in a chance for showers and thunderstorms over the burn
site. Dry thunderstorms are possible this afternoon due to low
relative humidity ahead of the surge of moisture. The warmer
temperatures will bring about drier conditions across the region.
Elevated fire weather concerns are projected for the Frazier Park,
Grapevine, and Fort Tejon areas as stronger winds will combine
with the aforementioned conditions.
