.DISCUSSION...
Warm and dry weather is expected to continue for today and
tomorrow across the region thanks to a stubborn upper-level ridge
that remains overhead. Things are pretty dry out there, and this
will bring some fire weather concerns, but thankfully winds should
remain fairly light through Friday. Rain returns to the area by
Saturday, although there is some concern that it will not be a
soaking rain, and more of a progressive system that moves through
the region.
