.DISCUSSION...
A STRONG UPPER-LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL DOMINATE THE
REGION THROUGH THE WEEK WITH ABOVE AVERAGE TEMPS AND VERY LOW
DAYTIME RHS. LOOK FOR LIGHT TERRAIN DRIVEN WINDS AND MOSTLY CLEAR
SKIES. EXPECT POOR RH RECOVERIES EACH NIGHT. A DISTURBANCE
UNDERCUTTING THE RIDGE EARLY NEXT WEEK MAY BRING A CHANGE IN THE
WEATHER, BUT YOUR FIRE LOOKS TO BE TOO FAR NORTH FOR ANYTHING MORE
THAN PERHAPS SOME CLOUDS. CONFIDENCE IS VERY LOW REGARDING THE
DETAILS OF THIS FEATURE.
