.DISCUSSION...
No fire weather concerns over the next seven days. Light showers
will start to rotate from west to east into the region today ahead
of a nor`easter. Thus minimum RH levels this afternoon will only
range in the 45 to 75 percent range with north-northeast winds
turning breezy, especially from the Capital District south and
east where gusts reach up to 30-50mph. Steady rain arrives
tonight and continues through Sunday night as a Nor`easter
tracks/stalls off the NJ coast. Showers linger into Monday before
drier weather returns Tuesday into the middle of next week.
