.DISCUSSION...
Breezy south winds this afternoon. Afternoon humidity values are
forecast to remain above 30 percent today, limiting fire weather
concerns. Increased clouds today and tomorrow with a few
sprinkles possible. Temperatures are forecast to be near normal
and generally in the 60s to lower 70s. Breezy northwest winds
tomorrow combined with drying conditions behind a cold front could
bring some afternoon humidity values in the 20s, especially in
the southwest. Lower humidity combined with breezy northwest
winds may bring some increased fire weather concerns across the
far southwest on Saturday. The rest of the weekend into early next
week will see warming temperatures, mainly dry conditions, and
lowering humidity values. Breezy conditions to start the week
could bring some increased fire weather concerns, especially on
Tuesday.
