Current Situation
Situation Summary
Tuesday evening shower activity diminished by sunset. The shower activity and lingering moisture resulted in excellent humidity recoveries overnight. Overnight lows cooled a few degrees with lows in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Winds were breezy Tuesday evening but diminished after sunset as well. Drier weather is expected on Wednesday with cool and moist conditions. A slight drying and warming trend will develop later in the week. The rain received over the past operational periods has hampered suppression repair activities. Smoldering will continue as the cloud cover retreats and temperatures warm. No fire growth is expected.
