.DISCUSSION...

Southerly winds will increase today as rain showers an isolated
storms limit burning conditions. Rain showers will taper on
Tuesday with more dry conditions expected Wednesday, but fuels
will struggle to dry out before the next system arrives Thursday
into Thursday night. Rainfall totals with the first system today
into Tuesday will have a 30-40% chance for exceeding one inch.
The late week system looks to produce 0.40-0.60" of rain in most
areas.
