.DISCUSSION...
A fast moving ridge of high pressure will bring much warmer
temperatures and drier conditions today, however winds remain low
enough to approach but shouldn`t exceed critical fire weather
conditions. Overnight a strong but dry cold front will move
through the region elevating winds to 30-40 mph with gusts up to
60 mph, but humidity values will increase as cold air moves
through the region so fire weather concerns will remain elevated
through Saturday night but should still remain just below critical
fire weather conditions.
