.DISCUSSION....
High pressure will remain centered off the coast through the
weekend bringing temps well above normal along with higher
relative humidity (around 50-60% near the burn site). In
addition to this, winds will remain steady at 10-15 mph with
occasional gusts up to 20-25 mph at times each afternoon and evening.
While well above normal to near record warmth will continue to help
accelerate greenup, it will also continue to further the drought due
to a continued lack of appreciable rainfall. The next chance of
wetting precipitation looks to come early next week and the slow
moving nature of the system may allow for appreciable rainfall
amounts. Cool high pressure builds in for the middle of next week.
