.DISCUSSION...
A cold front moving across the area is bringing a very dry air
mass to the region. The dry air is resulting in RH values in the
mid 20% to mid 30% range. Elevated 20ft winds should keep fire
danger at bay for Sunday. A wet and unsettled pattern will
unfold this week. Precipitation chances remain low to medium
through midweek and wetting rain chances will increase by the end
of the week.
