.DISCUSSION...
A drier airmass favors RH values dropping near 35 percent with
breezy conditions continuing. Despite this, rainfall yesterday
means that wetter conditions exist, limiting dry fuels available
today. As such, widespread red flag conditions are not expected.
Similarly dry conditions will persist for the weekend, but lighter
winds are forecast for the weekend and early next week. No
significant fog is expected.
