...FIRE WEATHER WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY EVENING...

.DISCUSSION...
Dry, Mostly clear, with breezy conditions will continue through
the weekend. Winds will range from 10 to 20 MPH with gusts up to
30 MPH possible Friday as RH varies from the mid teens in the
afternoons, with overnight recovery to about 45%. Saturday, a
storm system passing to the north, will generate strong
southwesterly winds of 20-35 mph with gusts up to 55 MPH Possible,
With the strong winds forecast, a Wind Advisory is in effect
Saturday. RH values look to range in the low 20s to upper teens in
percentage which may keep fire weather concerns in the near
critical category, however critical fire weather conditions will
be possible as only a small change to RH is needed to meet
criteria. Therefore the Fire Weather Watch is still in effect at
this time.
