.DISCUSSION...
Winds will be lighter today and temperatures will be slightly cooler
and thus RHs will be higher across the fire zone. The only concern
weather-wise will be the potential for some isolated showers and
storms to develop in the early afternoon, continuing into the early
evening. Gusty outflow winds and lightning will be the primary concern
with these. Winds could gust 35 to 45 mph with the strongest of storms.
Things will look to trend warmer and drier as we get in to the middle
and later part of the week.
