.DISCUSSION...
Upper level ridging will dominate weather patterns through the
end of the week with no appreciable rainfall forecast. As a
result, minimum 10-hour dead fuel moisture content will hover
around 10 percent. Fortunately, light 20-foot winds and minimum
relative humidity values above 30 percent should keep fire
weather concerns at bay. Fog potential will remain minimal,
restricted mainly to localized river valleys.
