.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low through the period. Starting today,
rain chances increase across the area and highs begin to trend
cooler (particularly by the end of the weekend). These factors,
combined with increasing RHs across the region, light winds, and
ERCs generally at or below the 50th percentile, will limit fire
weather.
