.DISCUSSION...
The burn area will see increasing chances of daily shower and
thunderstorm activity through the rest of the week, as modest south
to southeast flow aloft becomes west to southwest, ushering in another
surge of monsoon moisture from the Desert Southwest. This will also
bring an increasing concern for heavy rainfall and localized flash
flooding.
