.DISCUSSION...
Widespread showers and thunderstorms through Thursday will help
keep fire weather concerns low. Gusty winds will develop behind a
cold front late Thursday into Friday, especially across the
higher terrain. Even with stronger winds, cooler temperatures and
continued elevated RH values are expected behind the front helping
to mitigate any fire weather concerns. Another storm system is
due late in the weekend once again bringing a chance of showers
and thunderstorms.
