.DISCUSSION...

WARM AND MODERATELY DRY TODAY WITH MIN RH AROUND 30 PERCENT. ANOTHER
CONCERN IS THAT THE WINDS WILL BE GUSTING UP TO 22 MPH. THE
COMBINATION OF THE WIND AND RH WILL CREATE NEAR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS FOR THIS AFTERNOON. WITH WIND GUSTS OF 22
MPH...IT COULD INCREASE THE RISK OF BEING NEAR SNAGS. THE SOUTHERLY
FLOW WILL HELP TO INCREASE THE LOW LEVEL MOISTURE AND RH SHOULD BE
ON THE RISE THE NEXT FEW DAYS. ALSO THERE WILL BE THREAT FOR SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS STARTING ON THURSDAY. EXPECT CONTINUED
WARM...MOIST...AND UNSETTLE WEATHER THROUGH TUESDAY.
