burn scars. Min RH values this afternoon will be at or slight below 15 percent
for areas along and west of the Divide, greater than 15 percent east of the
Divide. High temperatures will top out around the seasonal average for late June
with light winds at 5-15 mph. Overnight recoveries will remain in the good to
excellent categories.
