138 PM CDT FRI APR 10 2026
DISCUSSION
INCREASED RAIN CHANCES, CONTINUED GOOD TO EXCELLENT RECOVERIES
OVERNIGHT, AND MIN RHS ABOVE CRITICAL LEVELS KEEP FIRE WEATHER
CHANCES LOW THROUGH THE WEEKEND. 20-FT WINDS WILL GENERALLY REMAIN
LIGHT OUTSIDE OF ANY SHOWERS AND STORMS, WHERE WINDS MAY BECOME
GUSTY AND ERRATIC. BETTER OVERALL MOISTURE AND A CONTINUED CHANCE
FOR WETTING RAINS MAY GRADUALLY IMPROVE FUEL MOISTURE. BY EARLY NEXT
WEEK, MIN RHS FALL BELOW 15% AND WINDS BECOME GUSTY AGAIN FOR
WESTERN PORTIONS OF THE AREA.
