.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will be moderate to high into midweek. More
widespread breezy to windy conditions are expected today as
winds shift westerly. Tuesday is looking like the highest fire
danger day of this stretch with lower RHs than Monday and low-end
windy conditions again. Another very breezy day is expected for
Wednesday, slightly lower than Tuesday but still very dry. For
the rest of the week, winds stay on the breezy side as moisture
levels creep up a bit, lowering the threat of fire weather.
