.DISCUSSION...

Tuesday will be dry, with minimum RH's mostly in the 30% range.
Another cold front tracks through the area on Wednesday, bringing
showers and thunderstorms. More dry weather to follow for the end
of the week, and by Friday, minimum RH's will generally be 
between 20% to 35%, and above 40% for the mountains, as high 
pressure settles in over the area. However, with the recent and
upcoming rainfall, there are no fire weather concerns at this 
time.

Temperatures will be a few degrees below normal, but begin a
warming trend Friday and continuing into the weekend, and
temperatures rise into the 80s and near 90 by the beginning of
