.DISCUSSION...
High pressure remains in control through the next week bringing
warmer than normal temperatures, generally light winds, and plenty
of sunshine. Afternoon heating each afternoon will bring some
cumulus clouds to the burn site but do not anticipate any
appreciable precipitation. If anything, maybe a quick sprinkle
that should not have any affect on the fire. The chance for this
is very low so did not include in the forecast. A few afternoon
gusts may reach around 15 mph, give or take, but prolonged gusty
winds are not expected. This trend will continue through the end
of the week.
