.DISCUSSION...
A front and its associated low is strengthening southwesterly
winds and bringing higher chances of wetting rain. Most of the
fire will be sheltered from this wind, but gusty winds are still
possible at lower elevations. Ridgetop winds may gust as high as
35 mph out of the southwest this evening. A short period of
wetting rain is possible Wednesday afternoon/evening, with another
front which could bring in excess of half an inch of rain
arriving for Thursday into Friday. The cooler air mass arriving
with the front will moderate maximum temperatures through the end
of the week to near 60, with minimum RHs remaining above 40.
