.DISCUSSION...
Quiet weather and above normal warmth will exist
across the area through much of the upcoming work week. There
could be a slightly raised concern for fire weather danger over
northeast portions of the forecast area today due to lower
RH values reaching critical thresholds this afternoon. A few areas
of fog will be possible early tomorrow morning over southern portions
of the area.
