.DISCUSSION...

Dry weather and a gradual warming trend expected this week. 
Winds will be light, but as temperatures return to the
50s/60s, Min RH values fall to 20-30% range
starting Tuesday, and continuing through Friday. Some Min RH
values may drop into the teens across mountain locations through
the middle of the week, and this has been accounted for in the
forecast. Fortunately, winds will remain light with high pressure
overhead all week.
