.DISCUSSION...
No critical fire weather conditions are expected for the next 7
days, however hazards will still exist. Daily rounds of
thunderstorms are likely across all zones. The primary hazards
will be sudden and erratic gusty winds, along with brief heavy
rainfall. Lightning into receptive fuel beds may generate new
starts, which could spread rapidly under the influence of gusty
winds. MinRH will trend near critical thresholds across the
lowlands, despite available moisture for storms. MinRH after
Wednesday improves to near or above 20 percent for all zones
through Saturday. Winds will remain relatively light with the
exception of gusts created by storms.
