.DISCUSSION... 
Rain will continue into Saturday evening and winds will pick up 
Sunday. Significantly drier air enters the area as a cold front 
pushes through which will result in relative humidity percentage 
values in the 20s and 30s. With the rain ongoing, fire weather 
concerns are low. Higher pressure will return early next week before 
another round of precipitation is possible by the middle of next 
week.
