.DISCUSSION...
A cold front will move through tonight with showers and storms
preceding the front. High pressure will then build from the north
Monday through mid week with slightly cooler and drier weather,
especially inland. Hotter and more humid conditions then likely
return late week ahead of another cold front which will bring
better rain chances for everyone.
Wind profile analysis/fire control over flat terrain is Favorable.
Fog potential for tonight is Moderate, especially inland.
