.DISCUSSION...Fire weather concerns will remain fairly standard
for this time of year through Wednesday. Expect typical summer
conditions with dry weather and hot temperatures. An offshore
trough will impact the region Thu-Sat. This will bring a period of
enhanced winds with elevated fire weather conditions. Winds peak
on Friday, but humidities trend upward so this may limit the
extent of critical fire weather conditions. At this time, thunder
potential looks to remain north and east of the fire, but it is a
pattern that bears watching for any shifts in thunderstorm
chances on Friday.
