.DISCUSSION...
Showers and storms have already developed in the vicinity of the
fire area and will continue to increase in coverage through the
afternoon. Gusty outflow winds, cloud to ground lightning, and
briefly heavy rainfall will be the main threats with storms. A
cluster of storms along and east of the Rio Grande Valley may
send a gusty easterly outflow boundary through the area around
Midnight. After a break in the morning, storms will increase in
coverage once again tomorrow afternoon. Storms will develop over
the high terrain in the early afternoon and slowly move south
into the lower elevations during the mid-afternoon through the
evening. Rounds of showers and storms are possible over the
Wildfire.
