.DISCUSSION...

Sunny skies and quiet conditions dominate with light northeast winds
generally below 10mph. As mixing deepens during the afternoon and we
tap into drier air aloft, expect RH to fall below 30% while
temperatures climb into the lower and possibly mid 60s. However, the
mitigating factor for fire spread will be wind speeds remaining
rather light. RH quickly recovers into the evening hours while
temperatures drop into the 30s, then with another dry and sunny day
Wednesday, expect RH to once again fall back to around or just below
30% during the afternoon with highs in the upper 60s. Winds remain
calm, generally out of the east.
