.DISCUSSION...
WARM AND DRY CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE OVER THE BURN AREA THROUGH
MID-WEEK. A VERY DRY ATMOSPHERE WILL LEAD TO CONTINUED POOR RELATIVE
HUMIDITY RECOVERIES. NO BIG CHANGES UNTIL AT LEAST FRIDAY WHEN
THE NEXT WEAK DRY COLD FRONT PASSAGE IS EXPECTED. THIS WILL
RESULT IN SLIGHTLY COOLER TEMPERATURES AND BETTER RH RECOVERIES
...BUT ALSO BREEZY WINDS.
