No critical fire weather conditions are expected over the next
several days. Humidity values and winds and wind gusts will remain
out of critical fire weather thresholds, with daily chances of
afternoon and evening showers and storms. Showers and storms are
expected to be greatest along the mountains each day. With that
said, humidity values do start to lower by the start of next week, as
temperatures return to around seasonal values.

Smoke dispersion rates today will range from Poor to Very Good, with
rates ranging from Poor to Good Thursday.
