.DISCUSSION...
Good overnight recovery and light winds will maintain low fire
weather conditions despite continued dry conditions and mostly clear
skies. ERCs below the 50th percentile for most of the area northeast
of the Davis Mountains into Stockton Plateau also keep fire risk
low, despite warmer than average temperatures this weekend into
middle of next week.
