.DISCUSSION...
Outside of some lower RH values in the 20 to 25 percent range
across the Pine Ridge today, plenty of low level moisture due to
recent rainfall as well as anticipated rainfall over the next few
days will keep afternoon RH values above 30 percent through the
middle of the week. Therefore, fire concerns remain low at this
time.
