.DISCUSSION...
No changes from the previous forecast. Fire weather concerns
remain minimal heading into next week due to recent wetting rains,
minRHs above critical thresholds, and generally light winds
(outside of gusty, erratic winds with any thunderstorms that may
develop). RH recoveries overnight will be good to excellent.
