.DISCUSSION...
Fire weather concerns will be limited over the next several days.
This will be due to increased low level moisture across the area,
which will keep minimum relative humidity from reaching less than
25 percent. There will be a chance for showers and thunderstorms
Saturday night into Sunday night and again for Tuesday night
through Wednesday night. Temperatures will be seasonal with highs
generally in the upper 60s to lower 70s.
