DISCUSSION
RHS BEGIN A DOWNWARD TREND THROUGH MID-WEEK WITH THE DRIEST
CONDITIONS EXPECTED WEDNESDAY. QUESTIONS STILL REMAIN AS TO JUST
HOW LOW RHS WILL DROP DEPENDING ON IF A WEAK CLIPPER MOVING JUST
OFFSHORE BRINGS ANY PRECIPITATION TO SOUTHERN AREAS. IN THIS CASE,
LIGHT SNOW AND CLOUDS MAY PREVENT SIGNIFICANT FIRE WEATHER
CONCERNS. RHS POTENTIALLY IN THE 30S IN THE NORTH WEDNESDAY, AND
20S DOWNEAST. NORTHWESTERLY WIND GUSTS OF 10 TO 15 MPH AND MOSTLY
SUNNY SKIES. DRIEST CONDITIONS DOWNEAST. RHS SHOULD BE ON AN
INCREASING TREND LATE WEEK.
