.DISCUSSION...
Quiet fire weather conditions with low fire concerns are expected
this week. The weak upper level storm system that brought us
breezy winds on Saturday has moved off and we will see generally
lower wind speeds this afternoon but may still be lightly breezy
along ridgelines and west slopes. Winds will become light tonight
with drainage flow overnight. Light winds will continue through
much of the coming work week. Min RH`s today through mid week will
be in the mid teens in the lowlands and in the 20`s in area
mountains. Vent rates will be poor to fair.
