.DISCUSSION...Subtropical moisture streaming into the area will
continue to feed shower and thunderstorm activity through the
week. These storms will bring a threat of heavy rainfall and the
potential for excess runoff...especially over recent burn scars.
Widespread wetting rainfall is expected over the next several
days which will eliminate the threat of critical fire weather.
...GUSTY ERRATIC WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED NEAR ANY SHOWERS
OR THUNDERSTORMS...
