.DISCUSSION...
No significant fire weather concerns are forecast through the
period. Temperatures will remain 5 to 10 degrees above normal for
this afternoon while minimum RH values drop into the lower 20s.
Light winds will lead to poor to fair venting. Later this evening
a cold front will push in from the east with higher gusts along
the west slopes of area mountains. The cold front will lower
temperatures down closer to normal for Sunday afternoon as well
as bring improvements to minimum RH values to around 30%. Our next
chance for precipitation (20-30%) is Thursday.
