.DISCUSSION...
The last day of dry weather and low humidity will be today. Winds will remain fairly light,
but will increase just enough out of the south/southeast to bring in warmer and
slightly more humid conditions today compare to yesterday. Widespread showers and
thunderstorms will return Saturday and linger into the first part of next week,
making any burning difficult.
