.DISCUSSION...

Winds continue to decrease this evening into tonight.
Northwesterly winds are expected, which could gust up to 20 mph
overnight. Lows tonight in the mid 50s, with RH values climbing
from the mid 30% range at 10 PM to over 55% by daybreak. Winds
quickly increase after daybreak - with gusts to 30 mph by 10 AM.
Winds continue to increase into the afternoon with gusts to 35
mph (isolated higher gusts are possible). Temperatures in the
upper 70s with dry air will lead to minimum RH values in the upper
20s. Although fire danger is expected to be low with green fuels,
the combination of strong wind and low humidity may create
elevated fire conditions.

Dry weather is expected through Friday morning.
