.DISCUSSION...

Skies will stay overcast into the mid afternoon hours before
clouds gradually break up from the west to east later today.

Min RH will range from the low 30s to low 40 percent range
today, between 25 and 30 pct Monday, and in the 30s Tuesday
afternoons. This should help to gradually dry out finer fuels
across the district.

The west to northwest wind will increase this afternoon to
around 10 MPH with gusts between 15 and 20 MPH afternoon.
Winds tonight will become light from the northwest or light
and variable in some locations. The wind will be a little
lighter on Monday compared to this Sunday afternoon.

The next chance for rain will arrive late Tuesday as the wind
turns to come out of the south and increases, especially across
the northern tier where gusts into the mid 30s are expected.
Showers move in from the west later Tuesday, and continue
through the day on Wednesday.
