.DISCUSSION...

Expect dry weather with warmer temperatures into Friday. For this 
weekend, rainfall chances will increase thanks to a slow moving 
front that looks to stall over the region. Another cold front 
brings an end to the rain and reinforces cooler weather for next 
week. Minimum RH values drop to 35 to 55 percent next week. We 
cool down with the front into next week. Overall, there are 
currently no fire weather concerns at this time.
