.DISCUSSION...
GUSTY NORTHWEST WINDS UP TO 20 OR 25 MPH ALONG WITH MINIMUM RH
VALUES OF 20 TO 30 PER CENT ACROSS SRN AND PERHAPS CENTRAL AREAS
WILL INCREASE THE FIRE DANGER FOR THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON
HOURS TODAY. HOWEVER, AS GREEN UP CONTINUES CONDITIONS WILL NOT
WARRANT ANY RED FLAG HEADLINES. IN THE NORTH RH VALUES WON`T BE AS
LOW AND THERE WILL BE LESS SUNSHINE THERE TODAY AS WELL. FAIRLY
LGT WINDS SATURDAY AND RH VALUES UP TO 10 PER CENT HIGHER SHOULD
KEEP THE FIRE WEATHER DANGER FAIRLY LOW. UNSETTLED WEATHER
DEVELOPING OVER THE WEEKEND AND CONTINUING INTO THE MIDDLE OF NEXT
WEEK WILL HELP KEEP THE FIRE WEATHER DANGER FAIRLY LOW.
