Weather conditions across the fire are today will be calm through the morning with the winds primarily out of the east-southeast between 5 to 10 MPH. Temperatures will warm into the low 90s with a minimum afternoon relative humidity in the 30 to 35 percent range. The main concern will be the development of late afternoon thunderstorms that will bring strong outflow winds that will quickly change the wind direction and speed around the fire area.
