.DISCUSSION...
Low fire weather concerns the rest of the week.
For today, light rain and clouds will slowly end from west
to east. On Wednesday, winds will become northwest as cooler
air moves across the region.
High pressure will build in through the end of the week, which
will bring dry weather, but it will also be cool with light
winds so the fire weather risk will remain low.
