.DISCUSSION...

WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE BURN AREA THROUGH
MID-WEEK. A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED POOR
OVERNIGHT RELATIVE HUMIDITY RECOVERIES. A WEAK SHORTWAVE WILL
BRING BREEZY CONDITIONS ON MONDAY BUT LITTLE INCREASE IN MOISTURE
IS EXPECTED. NO BIG CHANGES UNTIL AT LEAST THURSDAY WHEN THE NEXT
WEAK WAVE IS EXPECTED. THIS WILL RESULT IN SLIGHTLY COOLER
TEMPERATURES AND BETTER RH RECOVERIES...BUT ALSO BREEZY WINDS.
