.PREV DISCUSSION... /ISSUED 0305 AM CST SAT MAR 08 2014/

...SYNOPSIS...
A COLD FRONT WILL SURGE SWD ACROSS TX TOWARDS THE LOWER RIO GRANDE
VALLEY...WITH SFC HIGH PRESSURE BECOMING DOMINANT ACROSS MOST OF THE
INTERIOR WRN/CNTRL CONUS. WINDS WILL BE LIGHT E OF THE MS RIVER WITH
SEASONABLY MILD TEMPERATURES. AS A RESULT...FIRE WEATHER POTENTIAL
WILL BE MINIMAL.

...COASTAL RANGES/FOOTHILLS OF SRN CA...
WEAK TO MODERATE OFFSHORE WINDS /15-20 MPH/ WITH STRONGER GUSTS ARE
LIKELY TO BE ONGOING AT THE BEGINNING OF THE D1 PERIOD ACROSS
FAVORED CANYONS/PASSES IN SRN CA. THE PRESSURE GRADIENT WILL RELAX
THROUGHOUT THE DAY...WITH GUSTY WINDS BECOMING INCREASINGLY
LOCALIZED. RH VALUES OF 10-15 PERCENT WILL BECOME COMMON BY
AFTERNOON. WHILE THESE CONDITIONS WOULD NORMALLY FAVOR AN ELEVATED
FIRE WEATHER THREAT...RECENT ABUNDANT RAINFALL WILL MITIGATE THE
POTENTIAL FOR WIND-DRIVEN FIRES.
