.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain minimal as good recovery this morning
and lighter afternoon winds mitigate any threats. A strong cold
front arrives late today bringing well below normal temperatures
by Sunday with a hard freeze expected for most locations. We warm
by midweek with another front late in the week. The forecast
remains dry until late week when a low chance (20%) of rain enters
the picture.
