DISCUSSION
THE FRONT STALLED YESTERDAY AND THE TAIL END OF IT WAS ALREADY
BEGINNING TO LIFT BACK TO THE NORTH. THE DRIER AIR THAT WAS IN
PLACE BEHIND IT HAS ALREADY BEGUN TO MODERATE. MOISTURE WILL
CONTINUE TO SLOWLY RETURN. EVEN WITH HIGHS EXPECTED TO RISE INTO
THE LOWER TO MID 80S OVER MUCH OF THE AREA AFTERNOON MIN RH
VALUES WILL DROP INTO THE 40 TO 50 PERCENT RANGE FOR MOST OF THE
AREA WITH ISOLATED LOCATIONS IN THE UPPER 30S. WINDS WILL BE ON
THE LIGHTER SIDE THROUGH THE WORK WEEK SO DESPITE THE DRY
CONDITIONS, NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS EXPECTED. A COLD FRONT
IS EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE REGION FRIDAY NIGHT OR EARLY
SATURDAY AND THIS WILL BRING MUCH DRIER AIR BACK INTO THE REGION
AND COMBINED WITH MODERATE TO STRONG WINDS SATURDAY COULD LEAD TO
SOME DANGEROUS FIRE WEATHER CONDITIONS.
