.DISCUSSION...High pressure will dominate the pattern into the coming
week, with above normal temperatures and mostly dry conditions. A
chance of showers or storms remains over the Divide most afternoons,
with lightning and gusty winds the main threats. Light winds will limit
the potential for critical fire weather conditions through mid week.
A system moving through late in the week could bring increased
southwesterly winds, bringing a return to critical fire weather conditions.
...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
