.DISCUSSION...

Increasing moisture today ahead of an approaching
cold front. 0.25" to 0.50" storm total through Thursday morning.

By Friday and Saturday, the potential for increased fire danger 
is expected to increase as winds and temperatures rebound on 
Friday. Gusts up to 25 mph can't be ruled out Friday. Combine
this with minimum RH values in the 20s, and fuels will dry very
quickly across the region. These conditions may lead to 
adverse fire behavior on Friday and Saturday as RHs remain 
low both days.
