.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns remain low through the period. ERCs remain at
or below the 50th percentile, Min RHs stay above critical thresholds
(despite a drying trend), and winds remain light. These factors,
coupled with good to excellent recoveries, will limit fire weather
through the period.
