Weather: There is a 70% chance of rain showers today as a new weather disturbance approaches, with a slight change for embedded thunderstorms. The high temperatures today will vary between 51 and 62 degrees, with high relative humidity persisting throughout the day. Expect unstable winds today and overcast skies. Rain the past week has assisted by diminishing fire behavior, limiting any smoldering occurring on the fire. Showers will occur after 1300 with a convective rainstorm risk leading to a potential for burn scar flooding or debris flow.
