.DISCUSSION...
Triple digit temperatures are expected through at least the end of
the week. Conditions will also remain quite dry, with min RH`s
falling into the 25-35% range across the region tomorrow
afternoon. East TX fire districts are likely to see the most
persistant dryness over the next few days, but afternoon RH`s are
unlikely to be above 40%. The next chance of rain could come
Saturday morning if one model solution comes to pass. But there is
still plenty of time for the drier model solutions to win out.
