.Discussion...
Generally dry conditions will be present across the district
through the next week, especially over our southeast plains.
Breezy and dry conditions will result in repeated critical fire
weather conditions each afternoon, though at this time fuels are
largely still unfavorable.
Smoke dispersions will be poor to fair this morning, improving to
excellent this afternoon. Dispersions will be very good or better
on Sunday.
