WITH THIS FORECAST.
DISCUSSION
DRY CONDITIONS WILL PERSIST THROUGH THE WEEK WITH NEAR ZERO RAIN
CHANCES THROUGH THE ENTIRE FORECAST PERIOD. WE WILL SEE TEMPS
CONTINUE TO CREEP UP ANOTHER DEGREE OR TWO TODAY AND TOMORROW
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER TO MID 80S. AS WE HAVE BEEN MENTIONING
THERE IS NO ANTICIPATION OF MOISTURE RECOVERY WITH DEWPOINTS
MIXING OUT RATHER EFFICIENTLY IN THE AFTERNOON AND WE WILL SEE
DRIER AIR WORK INTO THE REGION THIS WEEKEND FROM THE
NORTH-NORTHEAST. THE COMBINATION OF HIGHS IN THE 80S AND
EFFICIENT MIXING WILL LEAD TO MIN RH VALUES DROPPING INTO THE
LOWER 20S TO LOWER 30S FOR MUCH OF THE AREA NORTH OF I-10. AGAIN
THE ONE POSITIVE ASPECT IS LIGHT WINDS REMAIN IN THE FORECAST
THROUGH FRIDAY WHICH WILL KEEP US BELOW RED FLAG WARNING
CRITERIA, HOWEVER THERE WILL STILL BE AT LEAST SOME POTENTIAL FOR
FAST FIRE DEVELOPMENT OWING TO THE LOW RELATIVE HUMIDITY AND
DRIER THAN NORMAL FUELS ACROSS MOST OF THE AREA. THE FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS INCREASE HEADING INTO THE WEEKEND AS WINDS BEGIN TO
INCREASE. A FIRE DANGER STATEMENT (SPS) HAS BEEN ISSUED TO
HIGHLIGHT THIS CONCERN.
