.DISCUSSION...
High pressure will then build from the north Monday through mid
week with slightly cooler and drier weather, especially inland.
Hotter and more humid conditions then likely return late week
ahead of another cold front which will bring better rain chances
for everyone.
Wind profile analysis/fire control over flat terrain is Favorable.
Fog potential for tonight is None.
