.DISCUSSION...
Our fire weather threat remains low this week. We will see drier
conditions move into the area this week, but we will continue to
see at least a slight chance for rain each day through Friday.
Despite the drier air in the region, our min RH`s look to stay
near 20% or higher through Friday and our winds will stay well
below critical levels away from thunderstorms. Ventilation rates
will range from good to very good the next couple of days.
