.DISCUSSION...

Expect dry weather through Saturday. While confidence on this
scenario is still not high, there is increasing potential for an
enhancement in fire danger on Sunday afternoon, and then again 
Monday afternoon for portions of the region. A cold front is 
expected to cross the region on Sunday. The southeastern section 
of our forecast area will have the lowest potential for receiving 
measurable rainfall. Winds are expected to become gusty from the 
southwest (20 to 25 mph) in advance of this front on Sunday 
afternoon, potentially prior to any measurable rainfall but with 
minimum RHs in the lower 50s percent. On Monday, after potentially
not receiving a lot of rain Sunday into Sunday night for this 
portion of the region, winds will still be gusty (15 to 20 mph) 
from the northwest with minimum RHs around 30 percent. Another 
potential cold front could arrive as early as Wednesday next week.
