.DISCUSSION...

Fire danger is not expected with antecedent rainfall having
moistened fuels and more rain expected with several systems this
week. Things will be dry initially with light southwesterly winds,
shifting to the south Wednesday. Winds will begin to pick up a bit
with sustained winds closer to the 10 to 15 mph range, especially
further west. Wetting rains are then expected at least across the
north with storms Wednesday night. Storms later in the week will
bring even more widespread rain. No fog is expected./SAS/
