.DISCUSSION...

Winds will predominantly be out of the west/northwest today, with
light winds expected early in the morning. By the mid morning hours,
mixing of the boundary layer will allow winds to pick up, with gusts
up to 15 to 20 mph. These gusts may exacerbate the fire today, and push
it towards the east/southeast. Wintry precipitation chances return
Monday afternoon as a weak low pressure system moves through the area.
RH values today will generally remain in the low 40s, but locally
lower values into the upper 30s can`t be ruled out by this afternoon.
Outside of the winds, there are no fire weather concerns today.
