.DISCUSSION...
AN UPPER LEVEL RIDGE OF HIGH PRESSURE WILL SLOWLY BUILD OVER THE
AREA THIS WEEKEND AND PERSIST THROUGH MUCH OF NEXT WEEK. AS A
RESULT...WE WILL SEE A WARMING TREND TAKING PLACE THIS WEEKEND
WITH ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES EXPECTED RIGHT THROUGH THE END OF
NEXT WEEK. WITH TEMPERATURE READINGS 10 TO 15 DEGREES ABOVE
NORMAL...AFTERNOON RELATIVE HUMIDITIES WILL BE IN THE 20 TO 30
PERCENT RANGE SATURDAY AND SUNDAY. EXPECT FULL SUN AND NO
PRECIPITATION TO CONTINUE DRYING OUT THE ALREADY DRY FUELS. WINDS
WILL GENERALLY BE UNDER 10 MPH THIS WEEKEND AND THROUGH MUCH OF
NEXT WEEK...SO RED FLAG CONDITIONS NOT LIKELY TO DEVELOP.
HOWEVER...FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS WILL EXIST AS THE EXTENDED PERIOD
OF DRY WEATHER AND DRY FUELS COULD EASILY CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR
ANYONE ATTEMPTING ANY OPEN BURNING DESPITE THE LACK OF WIND.
