.Discussion...
Very spotty critical fire weather conditions will be possible in the
vicinity of the Aspen Acres Fire this afternoon.
Hot and dry conditions persist across the district through the
forecast period, though there will be an increase in precipitation
chances starting Wednesday across the higher terrain and adjacent
plains. As precipitation chances increase, so does the threat of
flash flooding for area burn scars, especially for Wednesday through
Friday.
Smoke dispersions will be very good across the district this
afternoon, and again Tuesday afternoon.
