.DISCUSSION... 

Warm and mostly dry conditions are expected through the remainder
of the work week, with some light rain tapering off over the mountains
this morning. Better rainfall chances expected with a system this weekend.


Gusty winds this afternoon, which will contribute to drying and lowering 
RH's. However, with high temperatures expected to be above freezing this 
week, significant melting areawide is expected. This should increase 
soil moisture and leave behind moist ground cover across the region. 
Given these conditions, there are currently no fire weather concerns.
