.DISCUSSION...
Behind a cold front, a dry air mass will move into the region on
Friday, with RH values in valley areas as low as 30 percent during
the afternoon hours. Despite the dry air, westerly winds will only
be 5 to 10 mph, limiting the potential for fire spread. With a
frontal system located near the region, periods of rain are expected
for Friday through Monday, keeping the threat for fire weather
related issues to a minimum.
