.DISCUSSION...
An elevated fire danger will persist through late this afternoon,
especially along and south of the US Route 30 corridor. Minimum
afternoon relative humidities between 20 and 30 percent, gusty
northwest winds to 30 mph, and drying fine fuels will lead to a
continued elevated fire danger. Monday will feature minimum afternoon
relative humidities around 30 percent once again south of US Route
30, but wind speeds will be light from the west at 5 to 10 mph.
Clouds increase early Monday evening in advance of a system that will
bring a round of rain from late Monday night through Tuesday.
Rainfall amounts between one quarter and one half inch are possible
with this system.
