DISCUSSION
A COLD FRONT HAS PASSED AND LIGHT RAIN CHANCES HAVE
ENDED THIS MORNING. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A PROLONGED DRY
PERIOD THROUGH THE UPCOMING WEEK. COOLER CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED
TODAY AND THROUGH EARLY WEEK. AFTER A CHILLY START IN THE LOW TO
MID 40S THIS MORNING, TEMPERATURES DO RECOVER TO THE MID TO UPPER
50S. MINIMUM RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD DROP INTO THE 40 TO
45 PERCENT RANGE WITH DISPERSION INCREASING TO THE GOOD RANGE
THROUGH THE AFTERNOON THANKS TO GOOD BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING AND
FAVORABLE TRANSPORT WINDS. BIGGEST CONCERN FOR BURNING TODAY WOULD
BE OVERALL COOL TEMPERATURES AND WHETHER SMALL FUELS DRY OUT ENOUGH
FROM RECENT RAINFALL.
