.DISCUSSION...

Dry conditions look to remain across the region through early 
next week. Minimum RH values look to remain in the 30-40 percent 
range through Tuesday of next week, before humidity increases 
areawide with increasing precipitation chances in large part to an
approaching cold front from the west. The front looks to bring 
the region's next chance for a widespread wetting rainfall, with 
only isolated showers and thunderstorms possible across mountain 
locations through the weekend. While RH values look to be low, 
winds will similarly remain low, which should keep any fire 
weather concerns low at this time. 

Temperatures warm over the weekend into next week with some 
record heat possible Monday and Tuesday. Overall, fire weather 
concerns remain low for much of the area at this time, but will 
continue to be monitored.
