.DISCUSSION...
WINDS WILL INCREASE TOWARD THE END OF THE WEEK... AND WILL REMAIN
QUITE STRONG OVER THE WEEKEND. IN GENERAL... HUMIDITIES WILL BE
HIGH ENOUGH TO MITIGATE MOST WILDFIRE THREATS... BUT WESTERN

RELATIVE HUMIDITIES... AND THE STRONGEST WINDS. SUNDAY WILL
LIKELY BE THE MOST PROBLEMATIC DAY IN THE WEST... AS IT WILL
FEATURE THE STRONGEST WINDS... LOW HUMIDITIES... AND RELATIVELY
WARM TEMPERATURES.
