.DISCUSSION...
Rain, and even a wintry mix for northern areas, will limit near-term
fire weather concerns. Precipitation totals of 0.20-0.50" are
expected as this system moves out Tuesday evening. A progressive
upper-air pattern suggest additional rain chances by late-week, but
incoming high pressure may deflect those rain chances elsewhere.
