.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will remain on the low side today and
Thursday.

Outside of perhaps a few sprinkles late this morning or early
afternoon, mainly dry conditions are expected today. Winds will
gradually increase out of the SE throughout the day today, but
probably only peak in the 10-15 MPH range with some gusts to
around 20 MPH. Slowly increasing low level moisture and passing
mid to high level clouds should help to keep minimum relative
humidity values around 25%. Breezy SE winds of 10-20 MPH are
expected overnight.

Abundant low level cloud cover and either light rain showers or
drizzle will keep humidity values quite high during the day on
Thursday, generally above 50-60%. Winds will once again be breezy
out of the SE.
