.SYNOPSIS...
Local elevated fire weather conditions continue this morning in
the mountains due to gusty winds and low humidity. Lighter winds,
above average temperatures, and very dry conditions are expected
through early next week.

.DISCUSSION...
Clear skies, low RH, and locally breezy winds continue over the
foothills and mountains early this morning where gusts of 30-40
mph continue in a few areas. Across the Sacramento Valley, winds

generally lighter winds expected. RH will remain low, so continue
to practice fire safety.
