.DISCUSSION...

Breezy winds, mostly sunny skies, and low relative humidity
values this afternoon will create near critical red flag
conditions. Minimum humidity by 1500 will approach the upper
teens, and northwest winds of 15 to 22 mph will be expected.
A low chance of a brief rain shower this afternoon may create
gusty and erratic wind gusts in excess of 30-35mph. Very good
overnight humidity recovery is expected, with cool and dry
weather conditions through the night. A wind shift from the
northwest to northeast is expected by 2100 this evening, with
sustained winds of 10-20mph.
