.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain minimal through the period. ERCs remain
at or below the 50th percentile, Min RHs stay above critical
thresholds, and winds remain light. These factors, coupled with
moderate to excellent recoveries and recent wetting rains, will
limit fire weather through the period.
