.DISCUSSION...
Look for increasing clouds overnight with light terrain driven
(downslope) winds. Light winds will continue at the fire site
Friday with an increasing chance of rain/snow showers after 2 PM.
By Friday night into Saturday morning we expect to see snow levels
drop to around 6000 ft or lower...so it should be mostly snow at
the fire site. Northerly winds will prevail Friday night through
Saturday. Snowfall accumulation will range from 1-3 inches in the
vicinity. There is a 76% chance of 1 inch of snow...and a 33%
chance of 2 plus inches at the fire site through Saturday morning.
