.DISCUSSION...

Following the cool temperatures this morning, a warming trend will
commence later today and continue throughout this week as sfc high
pressure will dominate our fire districts before shifting east by
late this afternoon. 20ft winds will maintain an east to northeast
component today at around 5 mph or less. As the high shifts east,
southerly winds will return later tonight and increase on Tuesday.
Minimum RH values will range between 25-35 percent this afternoon
and gradually increase a bit more each day this week as southerly
winds will provide a steady supply of returning Gulf moisture.
