.DISCUSSION...High pressure will bring below average temperatures and
drier conditions to the area through Saturday with relatively weak
winds and minimum RH values in the 40s. Soils remain well saturated
given recent rainfalls, precluding heightened fire danger during a
period of drier weather that is expected into the weekend.
