.DISCUSSION...A ridge of high pressure is beginning to build into

the region, but cloud cover will continue to build over the burn 

site due to the lingering influence of the exiting weather system.

The wind direction is tricky today with this burn site lying right

between the predominately southwest winds and east winds. Saturday

trends warmer and drier with increased southeast winds by the
