.DISCUSSION...
A ridge of high pressure at the surface and aloft drifts
east over the District today.

This high will bring cloud free skies and much lighter wind
from the west to northwest. MinRH will bottom in the 20-30%
range this afternoon, leading to excellent visibility.

Based on the relatively light wind today and no fuel
moisture concerns through the Easter weekend (per coordination
with PA DCNR/BOF fire weather partners on Wednesday), the
potential for wildfire spread will remain low.

After the passage of a cold front through the Commonwealth
Saturday afternoon and evening, Sunday will feature plenty of
cloud cover, but generally dry conditions with a northerly
breeze of 5 to 15 mph.
