.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.
