.DISCUSSION...

The chilly temperatures early today may seem like a distant memory
by early next week as highs close in on 80 Sunday. There will be
several chances for rain during this period as the wet pattern
continues. Given the continuing wet pattern with advancing
vegetation, few if any fire weather issues are expected.
