DISCUSSION
HIGH PRESSURE RIDGING OVER THE AREA WILL KEEP RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS
OVER THE AREA THROUGH THE WEEKEND. SOME CRITICAL RH VALUES BELOW 35
PERCENT EXPECTED, BUT LIGHT WINDS BELOW 15 MPH WILL PRECLUDE THE
NEED FOR ANY RED FLAG WARNINGS. THE NEXT CHANCE OF ANY RAINFALL
COMES NEXT MONDAY AS A WEAK COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH THE AREA.
FOG POTENTIAL...NO WIDESPREAD DENSE FOG EXPECTED.
