.DISCUSSION...
Widespread rainfall has largely come to an end, but damp
conditions
will remain after we finally received a good coverage wetting
rain.
Winds will stay gusty through Sunday evening, but very little in
the
way of dry air will keep fuels moist and relative humidity
moderate
to high. The weather will stay active with additional chances for
widespread precipitation Tuesday and late in the week.
