Service.

.DISCUSSION...Hot and very dry conditions will persist at the
burn site through the end of the week. Some cumulus buildups and
high-based showers will be possible this afternoon mainly over
the higher terrain to the east, with a small chance of affecting
the burn site. Main impacts from any of these showers would be
brief gusty winds to 40 mph. As moisture continues to increase
into the area, could see isolated dry lightning activity at the
burn site Saturday and/or Sunday (accompanied by a threat of
brief, gusty microburst winds) before the airmass moistens enough
to bring a greater chance of measurable rain by early next week,
although wetting rain chances at the burn site remain on the low
side. Otherwise, terrain-driven winds will be relatively light
through Friday as high pressure drifts over the area, but may see
some occasional afternoon gusts up to around 18 mph.
