.DISCUSSION...
Overall fire weather concerns remain low for today and Saturday as
good to excellent recoveries and wetting rains are expected. Dry air
moves back in over the Davis Mountains and to points west on Sunday
and Monday brining near critical fire weather conditions. Fuel
dryness may be mitigated somewhat by rain and the presence of high
clouds before drier and sunnier conditions prevail into the middle
of the coming week.
