.DISCUSSION...
Warm to hot conditions will continue for the burn area through
Wednesday, however the areas will trend slightly less dry as
monsoonal moisture surges in from the south. A slight chance of
showers and thunderstorms will persist through today, and there is a
non-zero chance of storms tomorrow as well. Storms may bring
lighting, gusty/erratic winds, and rainfall. The southeasterly
portion of the fire is at the greatest risk. The chance of wetting
rain remains low (less than 10 percent). An offshore east-
northeasterly wind shift is expected late tonight through tomorrow
morning, which will result in a few degrees of warming for Wednesday
and higher mixing heights in the afternoon.
