DISCUSSION
WITH OUR LAST WEATHER SYSTEM ANOTHER DAY REMOVED FROM THE REGION,
OUR TEMPERATURES WILL BEGIN TO WARM, AND WE WILL SEE FURTHER DRYING.
TODAY'S MAX TEMPERATURES WILL BE SLIGHTLY WARMER, AND TRENDING HIGHER,
BUT REMAIN BELOW THE DAILY AVERAGES THROUGH MONDAY. THE REST OF THE
WEEK TEMPERATURES WILL RISE TO AND RUN WARMER THAN NORMAL. WITH THE
DRYING, DAILY MINRH WILL FALL INTO THE MID TEENS AND 20 PERCENT RANGES,
BUT REMAIN ABOVE CRITICAL THRESHOLDS. WINDS WILL CONTINUE UP A BIT
TODAY, WITH SOME LOCAL BREEZY CONDITIONS, BUT FALL WELL SHORT OF WINDY
CONDITIONS. LIGHTER WINDS ARE EXPECTED THE REST OF THE WEEK. THIS MEANS
A WEEK OF LOW FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS, AS WELL AS LESS THAN OPTIMUM
VENTILATION NUMBERS.
