...Hot and Mostly Dry Through Mid-Week...
.DISCUSSION...
Unseasonably hot temperatures will continue through Wednesday.
Much of the area is in D0 drought, leading to the drying of fuels.
RHs will be around 30-50% this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon,
with the potential for near-critical values as low as 25% with
afternoon mixing. Light winds and decent overnight RH recoveries
will limit concerns for rapid rates of fire spread. A weak cold
front will pass through the area Wednesday with only isolated
chances of light rain. Many locations will miss out on wetting
rain, but those receiving showers could get around a quarter to a
third of an inch. Dry conditions will continue into the late week.
