.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low through the period. Rain chances
continue for the region through Monday and highs begin to trend
closer to seasonal norms. These factors, combined with minimum
RHs above critical values across the region, light winds, and ERCs
at or below the 50th percentile, will limit fire weather.
