.DISCUSSION...

...Drying is expected to continue today...

Daytime mixing today should allow dew points to fall into the
teens and 20s and with temperatures warming into the 50s and 
lower 60s, min RH values fall into the lower 20 percent range. 
Fine fuels are now plenty dry given a full day of drying 
yesterday, but with lighter winds expected today, rapid fire 
spread potential should be on the lower side. Use caution if 
burning today as grass and leaf litter will be easy to ignite
given the dry airmass in place.

Moisture returns late Sunday into Monday as a strong storm
system crosses the region.
