.DISCUSSION...

Biggest concern from a fire weather standpoint will be afternoon
relative humidity values today and Friday as much drier is moving
into the area. Minimum Relative humidity values today and Friday
could drop to 20 to 25%, and possibly a bit lower before a little
bit of moisture recovery over the weekend.
