.DISCUSSION...
Dry and breezy conditions are expected for the rest of today.
Tonight recovery will be fair. For Monday, moisture will increase
slightly. The winds will be light and temperatures above the
normal. Monday overnight recovery will be fair to good. For
Tuesday, conditions will be similar to that of Monday with a
slight uptick in moisture especially north of the International
Border. For the rest of the period, conditions will be mostly
quiet except on Wednesday where the winds will become breezy to
windy ahead of an approaching cold front. The temperatures will
be above the normal through Wednesday, but will cool to around the
normal toward the end of the week. With that said, there will be
no fire weather concerns through the period across most of the
zones.
