DISCUSSION
THERE ARE NO MAJOR FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS FOR THE REGION. RH
VALUES WILL REMAIN HIGH AND THERE COULD BE MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF
RAIN BEGINNING OVERNIGHT TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY. HOWEVER,
COVERAGE AND AMOUNTS ARE HIGHLY UNKNOWN AND LIKELY WILL NOT HELP
AT ALL WITH THE ONGOING DROUGHT. CONFIDENCE IS LOW IN RAIN
POTENTIAL ANYWAY BUT THERE ARE AT LEAST MULTIPLE WINDOWS WITH THE
FIRST OVERNIGHT TONIGHT. A LINE OF STORMS MAY BE ABLE TO MAINTAIN
ITSELF MOVING INTO THE AREA OVERNIGHT AND THAT WOULD HAVE THE
BEST CHANCE OF PROVIDING A SLIGHTLY MORE WIDESPREAD WETTING RAIN.
OTHER THAN THAT WINDS OUTSIDE OF STORMS WILL BE ON THE LIGHTER
END AND RH VALUES WILL STILL BE WELL ABOVE 50% FOR THE NEXT
3 DAYS. ONE THING TO WATCH IS IF THAT LINE MOVES THROUGH
OVERNIGHT IT COULD LEAVE A WAKE LOW BEHIND THE STORMS WHICH WOULD
PROVIDE A HIGH WINDS CONCERN OVER PORTIONS OF THE AREA. THIS
WOULD BE SHORT LIVED, LIKE AN HOUR OR TWO, BUT IF THAT DEVELOPS
WINDS WOULD BE MUCH HIGHER THAN ANYTHING THAT IS IN THE FORECAST
CURRENTLY.
