.DISCUSSION...
MinRH values are expected to remain near to above 40% for the
foreseeable future. Main concern so to speak today through the
weekend would be gusty winds, although fire weather concerns will
remain limited given the moist soils and manageable RH. Wind
gusts will likely exceed 30 mph today for much of the area.
