.DISCUSSION...
High pressure settles across the region today and will remain in
place through much of next week. This will bring a much drier
arimass with afternoon RH`s falling into the mid 30s percent today
through Tuesday. Healthy northwesterly transport winds will be in
place through Tuesday, which combined with deep mixing will allow
good smoke dispersion each day. Rain chances may return to
portions of the region late in the week.
