.DISCUSSION...
High pressure building in from the west and an exiting system to
the east has left strong northwest flow draped over the Western
Slope. Northwest flow will continue to generate gusty winds this
evening near 20 mph, relaxing to terrain driven winds (downslope /
downvalley) overnight night. Scattered convective clouds will pass
over the fire location, however no precipitation is expected to 
reach the ground. Warming and drying conditions will continue
through the rest of the week.
