.DISCUSSION...

Increasing clouds this morning becoming partly cloudy for the
afternoon hours and into the evening. Slight thunderstorm chances
after 2-3PM through sunset (<10%). Gusty, erratic winds the main
threat up to 25-35 mph. Otherwise, winds will remain in the
15-20 mph range this afternoon outside storm activity through
sunset as well becoming light less than 10 mph there on out
overnight into Friday morning. With temperatures pushing well into
the 90s, expect minimum relative humidity values to drop to
the 15-20 percent range with recovery up to 50 to 60 percent
overnight. Smoke dispersal becomes good with the increasing winds
in the afternoon and evening.

Better thunderstorm chances and likely wetting rain for Friday
afternoon (50-60%). More seasonable temperatures, less wind, and
higher minimum relative humidity values will lead to a much more
favorable fire weather conditions heading into the weekend.
