DISCUSSION
SCATTERED SHOWER AND STORM COVERAGE MAINLY ACROSS THE HIGHER TERRAIN
WITH WARMER YET STILL BELOW NORMAL TEMPERATURES THROUGH SATURDAY.
SLIGHTLY HIGHER COVERAGE ON THURSDAY ACROSS THE CENTRAL MOUNTAIN
CHAIN AND SATURDAY ACROSS THE NORTHERN AND WESTERN MOUNTAINS. DRIER
WESTERLY FLOW RETURNS SUNDAY INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK RESULTING IN DRY

THESE WEST WINDS WILL RESULT IN ELEVATED TO NEAR CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONDITIONS ACROSS WESTERN AND SOUTHERN AREAS MONDAY AND

EASTERN HIGHLANDS COULD SEE ELEVATED TO NEAR CRITICAL FIRE WEATHER
CONDITIONS COME NEXT TUESDAY, BUT THE WET PATTERN THIS WEEK AND
