.DISCUSSION...
It will be a cool and cloudy day, with highs outside of southeast
struggling to get out of the 60s. In fact, it looks like we won`t
see highs get back into the 80s again until early next week. Next
chances for rain come Friday and Friday night and again Monday
night into Tuesday next week. Give the cooler and wet weather,
fire weather concerns will remain low through the next 7 days.
