Critical fire weather conditions will persist into this evening, with RHs progged to bottom out around 10%. While ERCs have improved, the warm weather, dry conditions, and 20-25mph 20ft winds will maintain the threat for wind-driven wildfires. Cirrus clouds should clear to the east of the wildfire site by late afternoon, with a brief uptick in wind speeds possible. Conditions improve after sunset as winds slowly diminish and shift to the northwest, but nocturnal recovery will only be fair, at best. Another very dry day is ahead Sunday with RHs around 12-13% in the afternoon, but 20ft winds around 15 mph will largely mitigate additional fire weather concerns. .REST OF TODAY...
