.DISCUSSION...
The wildfire will be on the western fringe of moisture today so
any storms that develop in the area will likely produce strong
outflow winds up to 45 mph and are unlikely to produce wetting
rainfall. The best chance for a storm is between 1PM and 4PM,
although there is a low chance of an evening shower between 6PM
and 8PM as well. Light winds will continue to prevail outside of
gusty and erratic winds near showers and storms. Rain chances
increase Tuesday, but wetting rainfall is unlikely again.
Humidities will increase slightly the next couple days as moisture
pushes in from the south and east.
