.DISCUSSION...

Warm and dry conditions will continue through the weekend with elevated
fire weather conditions at times as winds pick up in the afternoons.
Humidity values will gradually increase as monsoon moisture
begins to infiltrate the upper level high pressure system.  This will
bring increasing chances for showers and thunderstorms, starting off
very isolated in coverage for Sunday, but becoming more numerous next
week as moisture steadily increases.  This will raise concerns for
flash flooding of the burn scar as heavy rainfall with thunderstorms
becomes more likely towards the middle of next week.
