.DISCUSSION...
Dry conditions look to remain across the region through early
next week. Minimum RH values look to remain in the 30-40 percent
range through Tuesday of next week, before humidity increases
areawide with increasing precipitation chances in large part to
an approaching cold front from the west. The front looks to bring
the region's next chance for a widespread wetting rainfall, with
only isolated showers and thunderstorms possible across mountain
locations through the weekend. While RH values look to be low,
winds will similarly remain low, which should keep any fire
weather concerns low at this time.
Temperatures warm over the weekend into next week with some
record heat possible Monday and Tuesday. Overall, fire weather
concerns remain low for much of the area at this time, but will
continue to be monitored.
