.DISCUSSION...
HIGH PRESSURE WILL SETTLE OVER THE REGION WITH DRY CONDITIONS AND NO
PRECIPITATION EXPECTED THROUGH MONDAY. RELATIVE HUMIDITY LEVELS WILL
REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL VALUES DUE TO AN ONSHORE FLOW TODAY THAT WILL
MODIFY THE LOCAL AIRMASS. A SURGE OF NORTHEAST WINDS OFF THE ATLANTIC
OCEAN ON TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY WILL ALLOW FOR A SLIGHT CHANCE OF
PRECIPITATION...BUT SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS ARE NOT EXPECTED. A MUCH
DRIER AND COOLER AIRMASS WILL PUSH INTO THE REGION FROM THE NORTHWEST
LATE IN THE WEEK INTO NEXT WEEKEND AND WILL USHER A RETURN TO
RED FLAG CONDITIONS.

SUSTAINED WINDS ARE EXPECTED TO REMAIN LESS THAN 15 MPH THROUGH EARLY
IN THE COMING WEEK.
