DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF COOL AND DRY WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED WITH AFTERNOON
RH DROPPING TO AROUND AND JUST BELOW 20 PERCENT THIS AFTERNOON,
VERY SIMILAR TO OR JUST SLIGHTLY DRIER THAN YESTERDAY'S
CONDITIONS. UNLIKE YESTERDAY, AFTERNOON WINDS SHOULD GENERALLY BE
LIGHTER THAN YESTERDAY. EARLY MORNING WINDS ARE STILL A BIT ON THE
BREEZY SIDE, UP AROUND 10 MPH WITH GUSTS INTO THE TEENS, BUT
AFTER 1000 OR SO, SHOULD SETTLE INTO THE 5-10 MPH RANGE FOR THE
REST OF THE DAY. TONIGHT, WINDS BECOME LIGHT AND VARIABLE WITH
MODESTLY BETTER RH RECOVERY, BUT STILL ONLY TO ABOUT 65 PERCENT.
WINDS VEER TO BECOME ONSHORE FOR TUESDAY, AND WILL STRENGTHEN
AGAIN BY THE AFTERNOON. WHILE THIS MAY CAUSE SOME ISSUES FARTHER
INLAND WITH OVERLAP OF BREEZY WINDS AND LOW RH, THE BURN SITE IS
EXPECTED TO BE CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE COAST THAT RH WILL RECOVER MORE
QUICKLY BEFORE BREEZIER CONDITIONS DEVELOP. DEEPER INTO THE WEEK,
A DRY COLD FRONT IS EXPECTED TO ARRIVE THURSDAY.
