.DISCUSSION...
Upper level ridging and surface high pressure will allow for
quiet and dry weather through Tuesday. Shower and thunderstorm
chances return on Tuesday night with some severe storms expected.
Plenty of low level moisture due to recent and anticipated
rainfall will keep afternoon RH values near or above 30 percent
through the middle of the week. Therefore, fire concerns remain
low at this time.
