.DISCUSSION...
There are no critical fire weather concerns this week. This
afternoon portions of the southwest minimum relative humidity has
dropped down around 25 percent but the wind remains light and
variable. Tomorrow, minimum relative humidity around 25 percent
and is expected across the southwest with winds up to 15 mph by
the late afternoon. This will be a very short window of windy and
dry conditions. Winds across the central and eastern half of the
state could reach around 20-30 mph by the afternoon. However, the
minimum relative humidity across the eastern and central portions
of the state are around 30 to 40 percent. Again the window of
overlap for the driest conditions and the windiest conditions is
short only a few hours in the late afternoon.
After that the pattern switches to a more active pattern with
precipitation daily until the weekend. Thunderstorms are possible
into the weekend, thunderstorms can cause gusty erratic winds.
This will cause the relative humidity to increase and fuels to
green up even more. By the weekend into early next week another
pattern shift is forecast to bring warm and dry weather.
