.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather conditions will remain low through the middle of next
week. Above normal temperatures will cause minimum RH values to drop
into the 10 to 25% range for Sunday afternoon. Winds at this time
will generally be around 10 to 15 mph. But, recent rainfall and
decent overnight recovery will help limit the fire weather threat
for this weekend. Cooler temperatures are expected behind a cold
front on Monday, increasing minimum RH values into the 15 to 40%
range for the start of next week.
