.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 below critical thresholds.
These factors, coupled with moderate to excellent overnight RH
recoveries, will limit fire weather through the period.
