.DISCUSSION...Temperatures will be cooler for the next few days,
closer to the maximum normal for climatology. Overnight RH recovery
values have increased, briefly relieving some of the fire
weather concerns as a shortwave trough passes through. Low RH`s and
high temperatures are expected to return Friday along with moderate heat risks
as a ridging pattern builds back into the area. Stout northerly winds are also
expected to build towards the end of the week.
