.DISCUSSION...
Min RH values will remain in the 40-50% range through the
remainder of the week. The lowest RH values late in the week will
favor areas north of I-10/12 though winds are not currently
expected to be strong enough, remaining below 10mph, for
significant fire weather concerns. More moisture moves back into
the area early to mid next week, increasing RH values.
