DISCUSSION
A WEAK COLD FRONT NEAR THE SPOT AREA EARLY THIS MORNING
WILL MOVE TO THE SOUTH THIS AFTERNOON. BIG QUESTION WILL BE
WHETHER A DECK OF LOW CLOUDS MAKES IT TO THE SPOT AREA FROM THE
NORTH, AS THIS WOULD BRING A PERIOD OF HIGHER HUMIDITY THIS
MORNING. REGARDLESS, BY THIS AFTERNOON MOSTLY SUNNY CONDITIONS ARE
EXPECTED, BUT WITH MODERATED AFTERNOON HUMIDITY COMPARED TO
RECENT DAYS. THE REMNANTS OF THE COLD FRONT LIFT BACK NORTH OF THE
SPOT AREA TONIGHT INTO SUNDAY, BRINGING A RETURN OF ELEVATED FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS BY THE AFTERNOON WITH UNSEASONABLY WARM AND
DRY CONDITIONS ALONG WITH A PERSISTENT SOUTH TO SOUTHWESTERLY
BREEZE.
