.DISCUSSION...
Widespread warm, dry, and windy conditions are expected today
leading to elevated or critical fire weather conditions across the
region. A Red Flag Warning has been issued for areas most likely
to see critical conditions. Although some local fuels may remain
damp from recent snow melt, exposed areas will be very receptive
to fire spread today. Southwest winds strengthen this morning,
shifting to the west and northwest through the day as a cold front
moves into the region. This wind shift may be gradual, occurring
from north to south, amidst continued breezy and gusty conditions.
Colder and still dry air moves in tonight with northerly winds
dying down on Saturday. Dry conditions continue Sunday with a warm
up beginning amid light southerly winds. Rain chances increase
next week with a widespread wetting rainfall expected on Tuesday.
