.DISCUSSION...
Warm and dry this afternoon. Clouds will increase tonight as
high pressure migrates to the East Coast and a warm front activates
south of the region. Damp, cool weather is expected Friday as a
result, with rain likely over the burn site by late Friday
afternoon. Rain chances taper off Saturday, with fairly low RH and
mild temperatures returning Sunday, although fuels may take another
day to dry out.
