.DISCUSSION...
Afternoon humidities will fall into the 35 to 40 percent range
across much of the interior over the next few days with other
locations around 50 percent closer to the coastal areas. Despite
the dry afternoon conditions, lackluster winds will limit
critical fire weather concerns. Rainfall will be minimal through
the new workweek.
