.DISCUSSION...
There are no fire weather concerns over the next 7 days. While the
next two days will be largely dry, temperatures will be seasonable
with light winds and RH values largely in the upper 40s to low
70s. Then, intermittent showers are expected Sunday through
Tuesday which, though producing light rainfall, will maintain fuel
moisture to mitigate fire spread.
