with unseasonably warm temperatures and afternoon relative humidity values of
25 to 35 percent to create an elevated fire weather danger this afternoon across

The potential for thunderstorms will ramp up Monday evening and continue into Tuesday as a Pacific

time-frame with all modes of severe weather possible. Strong southwest winds will return
in the wake of the Pacific cold front Tuesday leading to very high fire weather potential.

The next chance of thunderstorms will occur on Thursday as a cold front moves through the
region. Some of these storms could be strong to severe as well.
