.DISCUSSION... 

Saturated grounds from the widespread rainfall that fell over 
the weekend combined with continued snow melt across the area 
will continue to lead to low chances for fire weather concerns. 

While some drying may occur today, rain chances 
return on Thursday and through the weekend, which will only lead
to a continued moist/saturated top soil and adjacent ground
fuels. 

Overall, there are no fire weather concerns this week given the 
points mentioned above, and any type of burning will be extremely
difficult given the saturated fuels and surface ground layer.
