.DISCUSSION...

Afternoon showers and thunderstorms are possible at the burn site.
Otherwise, humidities will fall into the lower teens, but winds
will remain light.  The main time frame for a thunderstorm looks to
be 1800 to 2200.  Isolated lightning strikes and briefly gusty erratic
wind gusts would be the main thunderstorm risks.  Any precipitation will
come to an end overnight.  Better chances for showers and thunderstorms
are expected on Sunday.
