.DISCUSSION...The fire will be under the influence of a general
low pressure off the Pacific Coast. This will lead to below normal
temperatures and above normal humidities. These conditions will
continue through much of the week. Winds will be relatively light
with typical day-night cycle breezes. Beginning Wednesday, a 15 percent
chance for a stray shower will occur in the evening and overnight with a
5 percent chance for a thunderstorm. As such the cumulus buildups may be
spotted to the east of the fire, and should remain to the east. Should a
thunderstorm develop, winds could become gusty to around 30 mph. Similar
conditions return on Thursday with very similar winds, humidities, and
thunderstorms.
