DISCUSSION
FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS REMAIN LOW. ERCS SHALL RANGE WITHIN THE
50TH TO 89TH PERCENTILE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION, WITH NEAR TO A
TOUCH BELOW CRITICAL MINRH VALUES. HOWEVER, THESE WILL BE OFFSET
BY LIGHT WINDS. ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES CONTINUE THROUGH THE
UPCOMING WEEK AND WILL AID IN CURING FINER FUELS. RAIN CHANCES
INCREASE EARLY LATE MONDAY AND TUESDAY, THEN AGAIN ON FRIDAY BUT
PRECIPITATION AMOUNTS AND COVERAGE DO NOT LOOK TO SIGNIFICANTLY
IMPROVE FUEL MOISTURE.
