DISCUSSION
VERY DRY CONDITIONS WITH RH VALUES IN THE 4-6% RANGE WILL CONTINUE
FOR THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS AS WE ARE AT PEAK HEATING WITH WINDS
15-25 MPH GUSTING 20-35 MPH. BY 7-10PM WINDS SHOULD BE RELAXING A
LITTLE BIT, BUT STILL COULD BE 15-20 MPH WITH GUSTS OVER 25 MPH,
BUT RH VALUES SHOULD TRY TO IMPROVE IN THE 10-20 PERCENT RANGE.
UNFORTUNATELY WINDS CAN STILL GUST CLOSE TO 15 MPH OUT OF THE
SOUTHWEST TONIGHT SO CAN'T SAY THAT THEY WILL BE TOTALLY LIGHT. RH
RECOVERY WILL HAVE TO BE WATCHED CLOSELY AS WE'RE LOOKING AT IT
APPROACHING 60 PERCENT, BUT THERE IS A SHARP BOUNDARY NEAR THE
BURN AREA THAT COULD RESULT IN RH RECOVERY ONLY GETTING TO MID 30
PERCENT, AND IF THAT HOLDS, THEN RH RECOVERY COULD BE ON THE POOR
SIDE. MIN RH VALUES ON TUESDAY LOOK TO BE IN THE 20 PERCENT RANGE
WITH HIGHS IN THE LOWER 80S, AND SOUTHWEST WINDS AROUND 15MPH WITH
GUSTS UP TO 25MPH.
