.DISCUSSION...

By tomorrow, another more potent surface low looks to push north 
of the region. This looks to bring more widespread rainfall to the
region, with upwards of 0.5"-0.75" of new rainfall for the 
region. If this precipitation occurs, ground fuels will likely 
become more impervious to the spread of fire as this rainfall will
likely be able to reach forest sub-layers compared to Tuesdays 
rainfall. 

Overall, with increased rain chances and elevated RH values this 
week, the threat for fire weather concerns has diminished across 
the area; however, if a long spell of dry weather occurs across 
the area, these concerns could return.
