.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will remain low through the week ahead.
Temperatures will climb above normal, however, light winds, min
RH above critical levels and recent rains will keep widespread
fire weather conditions from developing. Isolated storms over the
Sacramento Foothills and Davis Mountains each afternoon could pose
a risk of fire starts from lightning and gusty, erratic winds.
Overnight recoveries will remain very good to excellent.
