IF CONDITIONS BECOME UNREPRESENTATIVE...CONTACT THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE.

.DISCUSSION...OVERALL PATTERN CONSISTS OF HIGH PRESSURE IN THE FOUR 
CORNERS AREA AND A DEEP LOW PRESSURE OFF THE WASHINGTON COAST. THIS 
PUTS THE BURN AREA IN A SOUTHWESTERLY FLOW. WEAK IMPULSES ARE MOVING 
THROUGH THE REGION...BUT SHOULD HAVE LITTLE EFFECT ON THE BURN AREA. 
THE LOW WILL MOVE INLAND LATE ON WEDNESDAY. THIS WILL GIVE THE BEST 
CHANCES OF CONVECTIVE PRECIPITATION.

...AREA RAWS TUPPER...SLIDE MOUNTAIN...NORTH POLE RIDGE...
