.DISCUSSION...
An upper ridge will build over the region late this week,
minimizing rain chances and allowing fuels to dry. Despite this,
Min RH values will remain around 50 percent due to the tropical
air mass in place on Friday and 40-45 percent on Saturday. Mixing
heights above 6.5 to 8 kft will allow for good dispersions despite
the weak winds.
Fog potential over the next few days: Patchy fog may develop in
sheltered valleys early Friday morning.
Potential for Red Flag Conditions: None at this time.
