.DISCUSSION...

A WEAK COLD FRONT PASSAGE ON FRIDAY WILL RESULT IN BREEZY WINDS
OVER THE FIRE. DRY CONDITIONS WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES WILL
CONTINUE THROUGH THE WEEKEND WITH SUNDAY BEING THE WARMEST
AND DRIEST DAY OF THE NEXT SEVEN DAYS. WINDS WILL BE LARGELY
TERRAIN DRIVEN THIS WEEKEND AND ON MONDAY. EXPECT POOR TO FAIR RH
RECOVERIES OVERNIGHT THROUGH THIS WEEKEND. A COOLING TREND WILL
BEGIN ON MONDAY OF NEXT WEEK AND CONTINUE THROUGH MID WEEK. THIS
WILL RESULT IN IMPROVING RH VALUES...ESPECIALLY ON TUESDAY WHEN
WE GET A BETTER MARINE PUSH AS ANOTHER FRONT MOVES ACROSS THE REGION.
THERE IS A LOT OF UNCERTAINTY AS HOW STRONG THIS FRONT MAY BE...
BUT WE COULD SEE AN UPTICK IN SOME OF THE WINDS THROUGH THE GAPS AND
A SLIGHT POSSIBILITY OF A THUNDERSTORM.
