Fire Weather Planning Forecast for Western

.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will remain low for Sunday thanks to
abundant low level moisture.
Drier air will push into the region on Monday behind a cold
front. Gusty westerly winds, combined with the drier air,
will lead to afternoon relative humidity of 20 to 25
percent, and elevated fire weather conditions Monday.
Minimum RH will reach as low as 25 percent during the
afternoon hours Thursday and Friday. Winds are expected to
be fairly light, so fire weather concerns will be limited
late next week.
