.DISCUSSION...

High pressure will pass over the region Wednesday bringing 
light winds and a return to dry conditions. Another 
opportunity for showers and storms is expected Friday and
over the upcoming weekend. Recent wetting in addition to 
a return of showers for the weekend should mitigate any
fire concerns.
