.DISCUSSION...Breezy conditions into this evening will drop off
rapidly around 8-9 mph with a strong inversion developing overnight
and light, variable winds, mostly down drainages. Overall, expect
dry weather for the foreseeable future with sunny days and clear
nights, though some higher humidity could appear at times with
marine pushes to the west of the fire. It`s not out of the question
some clouds are around during the late-nights/mornings, but most
will stay to the west. Thunderstorms will be non-existent through
at least the end of next week.
