...HIGH WIND WATCH IN EFFECT FROM LATE TONIGHT THROUGH TUESDAY
AFTERNOON...

.DISCUSSION...

Fire weather concerns remain low over the coming days.

Following a warmer day on Monday, temperatures fall quickly to
below normal values Tuesday and stay there through the holiday
weekend. Precipitation potential appears greatest on Monday, where
a narrow band of light rain may lead to localized 0.25" rainfall
amounts before ending by midday. Late week precipitation chances
should come in the form of snow with the threat for accumulating
snow highest across our northeastern zones. Even so, liquid-
equivalent amounts should be on the order of a quarter-inch or
less.
