.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns are expected to remain on the low side the
next several days. Recent rainfall has contributed to green up
conditions across the region. Relative humidity values do drop
into the 25-35% both Monday and Tuesday. Higher humidity begins to
spread northward into the area mid to late week. It will also be
warmer during this timeframe.
Fairly breezy northwest winds are expected Monday. Winds gradually
switch to the south Tuesday. Southerly winds are expected to
continue the mid and late part of the coming week.
