.DISCUSSION...
Very warm temperatures for mid April and drought conditions
over much of the area will continue to keep fuels dry 
through the weekend. We may see some light showers
Thursday night into Friday morning but amounts are 
limited to a few hundredths.

A stronger front arrives Sunday with a better chance
for measurable rainfall but the speed and orientation
of the front will also limit rainfall with most
having less than a tenth of an inch.

We cool down back to normal behind the front early next
week with a very dry airmass. Then we warm up again toward 
midweek.

These aforementioned conditions will make fire containment 
increasingly difficult throughout the rest of this week.
