Precipitation will continue through Tuesday, possibly lingering into Wednesday. The bulk of this precipitation will fall from Monday night into Tuesday morning. 1 to 2+ inches of liquid precipitation are expected across the fire through Tuesday morning. Snow levels will be above 8,000 feet, so any precipitation that falls on the lower elevations of the Horseshoe fire will fall as rain. Minimum relative humidities will exceed 40% Monday and Tuesday afternoons, recovering into the 65 to 75% range overnight. Surface winds will increase on Monday and Tuesday afternoons with southeasterly winds in the Owens Valley and westerly winds in the higher elevations of the Eastern Sierra, which will likely result in different wind directions in the higher and lower elevations of the fire. .MONDAY...
