.DISCUSSION...
As high pressure dominates the region into next week, we will see
temperatures above average with daytime highs well into the 90s
and overnight lows in the upper 70s. Drought conditions have
depleted fuel moisture and rain will once again be very difficult
to come by for many areas outside a stray shower or thunderstorm
during peak heating hours. Lowest daily RH values will remain in
the mid 40 to 60% range through the week.
