.DISCUSSION...
Plan on mostly cloudy skies across the burn area today, with
scattered showers and thunderstorms through much of the day.
Surface winds will primarily be out of the south to southwest, but
expect gusty and erratic winds near any storms that do develop.
The main threat from any storms today will be cloud to ground
lightning and gusty winds up to 45 mph, but if the storms are
slow-moving then periods of heavy rain and flash-flooding will
become a threat.
