.DISCUSSION...

Dry conditions will persist through at least the next 7 days with
near zero rain chances through the entire forecast period. A
gradual daytime warming trend will continue through midweek, but
dewpoints will not see much recovery through at least Friday.
This will result in a general downward trend in afternoon
relative humidity values through the work week. Expect relative
humidity to fall to near or below 30 percent across much of the
northern half of the area today through Tuesday, with the low values
spreading across even most southern areas by Wednesday or
Thursday. Though lighter winds will keep us below red flag
warning criteria, there will still be at least some potential for
fast fire growth owing to the low relative humidity and drier
than normal fuels across most of the area.
