.DISCUSSION...
Calm conditions to start the day. A few showers and an isolated
storm would favor development over the high terrain closer to
Chama and Dulce and north of the CO border this afternoon. There is
little chance these will produce rainfall at the fire location, but
a higher chance erratic gusty winds could reach the fire location
late day and early evening. Coverage of afternoon and evening
storms increases considerably starting Wednesday. This wetter
weather pattern repeats each afternoon and evening through the
weekend.
