.DISCUSSION...
We will have one more quiet fire weather day on Monday, then we
move into a more active pattern. Min RH`s on Monday will be very
dry with single digit RH`s in the lowlands and mid teen readings
in area mountains. Tuesday we will see similar min RH`s but our
winds will be stronger. We will have near critical fire weather
conditions Tuesday afternoon. For Thursday and Friday, we will see
a little higher min RH`s but we will have stronger winds, so again
we will see near critical fire weather conditions to finish out
the work week.
