.DISCUSSION...
Cooler and drier through Friday which will cause more fire weather
concern than we have seen for a while. Today should see RH values
bottom out in the 40s with maybe a few spots reaching into the
upper 30s. Northwest winds will be gusty up to around 30 mph. So
still not fully reaching fire weather thresholds, but much more
elevated than anything we have seen for a while.
