.DISCUSSION...
THE WEATHER CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO BE RELATIVELY FAVORABLE FOR
MOP-UP OPERATIONS WITH A CONTINUATION OF SCATTERED SHOWERS AND
EXCELLENT RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES AT NIGHT. THE ATMOSPHERE
WILL BECOME UNSTABLE ENOUGH DURING THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING THAT
AN ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM IS POSSIBLE.  ANY SHOWERS THAT MOVE
DIRECTLY OVER THE FIRE WILL LIKELY PRODUCE WETTING RAINS. MONDAY
LOOKS TO BE A SOMEWHAT DRIER DAY WITH LESS SHOWER ACTIVITY...BUT
MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITIES SHOULD STILL REMAIN ABOVE 35 PERCENT.
