.DISCUSSION...
Elevated fire weather concerns will begin throughout the period as
a reinforcing cold front reduces minRH considerably starting
Monday. Dew points will struggle to climb into the 60s, pulling
minRH values down below 40, and perhaps 30, percent throughout
the week. This is in tandem with drying fuels with some areas
beginning to see increasing drought severity. With that said,
winds will be light which should keep major fire concerns at bay.
