..SYNOPSIS
AN UPPER RIDGE WILL BUILD OVER THE NORTHWEST IN THE WAKE OF A
DEPARTING MIDLEVEL TROUGH. WHILE A CONTINUATION OF WARM AND DRY
CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED, WEAKER SURFACE WINDS WILL LIMIT
FIRE-WEATHER CONCERNS REGIONALLY COMPARED TO PREVIOUS DAYS. HOWEVER,
LOCALLY ELEVATED CONDITIONS ARE STILL POSSIBLE IN WIND-PRONE AREAS,
GIVEN THE CONTINUATION OF WARM/DRY CONDITIONS AND RECEPTIVE FUELS.
