.DISCUSSION...
Fog development will be the primary forecast issue for burn
management planning over the next several days. Areas of fog will
develop each night through Thursday night. The fog will be light
to moderate tonight and tomorrow night, but could turn more dense
as we move through the week. Outside of the fog concerns, minimum
RH values will increase from 40 to 50 percent today to 60 to
70 percent by the end of the week. This increase in overall
humidity will also support some shower and thunderstorm activity
starting as early as Wednesday, but more likely from Friday into
the upcoming weekend.
