.DISCUSSION...

Drier air is expected to move into the wildfire area as modest north 
and northeast flow develops Friday night into Saturday morning. A 
slight chance of thunderstorms along with moister westerly afternoon 
flow returns to the wildfire area Sunday and Monday. As thunderstorms
will be very isolated in coverage, confidence is only around 20% that
a storm will affect the burn area on Sunday. On Monday, thunderstorms
are more likely to shift off the crest into Mono County so chances
are less than 10% for the wildfire area. Stronger westerly winds 
develop early next week as low pressure moves over the Pacific Northwest.
Thunderstorms are not expected Tuesday through next week.
