.DISCUSSION...
There are a few clouds lingering in the Big Horns just north of
the fire site this morning which could eventually produce a
sprinkle before they dissipate later this morning. Otherwise, look
for mostly sunny conditions. Humidity may drop as low as 16
percent in the afternoon. Winds should be primarily southwest 6-11
mph and a bit gusty in the afternoon. Some high cloudiness may
hang over the area tonight. Humidity recovery may not be too good,
into the 40s to maybe around 50%. Winds will be southwest to
terrain driven under 10 mph.

Sunday will be warm and mostly sunny, but look for isolated
showers and perhaps a weak thunderstorm in the vicinity of the
fire late Sunday aftrernoon. Humidity will not be quite as low as
today...in the lower 20s. BT
