.DISCUSSION...

A moisture-starved front passed through overnight and will usher
in slightly cooler temperatures today. RH values won`t be quite as
low as yesterday but could still drop into the lower 40s. Light
winds should mitigate the risk of wildfire spread.

Increasing clouds are expected on Wednesday, resulting in higher
dewpoints and relative humidity. This trend of higher dewpoints
continues into Thursday as well, with RH values staying above 40%.
Another cold front Friday will usher in lower dewpoints as high
pressure builds for Saturday. RH values drop into the 30s again on
Saturday with light winds before the next chance for rain arrives
on Sunday.
