DOWNWARD TREND THROUGH MID-WEEK WITH THE DRIEST CONDITIONS
EXPECTED
WEDNESDAY. RHS MAY DIP BELOW 30% TUESDAY, PARTICULARLY IN THE

MOVING JUST OFFSHORE BRINGS ANY PRECIPITATION TO SOUTHERN AREAS.
IN THIS CASE, LIGHT SNOW AND CLOUDS MAY PREVENT SIGNIFICANT FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS. RHS BELOW 30% LIKELY WEDNESDAY WITH WIND GUSTS
OF 15 TO 20 MPH AND MOSTLY SUNNY SKIES. DRIEST CONDITIONS
