in lower drainages.

Forecast for tonight:

- Clear but areas of smoke. Lows 58-65 highest elevations to 65-75 thermal belts and lower elevations. Humidity recovery is expected to be poor at 22-27 percent. Winds becoming downslope/downcanyon 4-9 mph with gusts to 15 mph in and below canyons through the night except southwest 10-17 mph with gusts to 23 mph

higher elevation ridges.
