.DISCUSSION...High pressure will provide dry weather the next few days 

with mostly light slope-driven winds, but southerly breezes at the top 

of the canopy at times. Steep valley-ridge inversions are likely. Expect 

moderate RH recovery since the burn area is so high up and closer to the 

thermal belt rather than below the inversion. A very weak front will 

pass to the north on Wednesday that might bring a brief shift in winds 

in the afternoon. Real no significant precip is expected before this 

weekend and even then, chances are low.
