DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF COOL AND DRY WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED WITH RH
DROPPING BELOW 25 PERCENT LATER THIS MORNING, AND BELOW 20 PERCENT
BY THE AFTERNOON. UNLIKE YESTERDAY, HOWEVER, NORTH WINDS SHOULD
BE LIGHTER. STILL, GIVEN THE BACKGROUND DROUGHT CONDITIONS AND
BEGINNING OF A LOW HUMIDITY STRETCH, CAUTION SHOULD BE EXERCISED
WHEN WORKING WITH OPEN FLAMES OR OPERATING EQUIPMENT THAT CAN
CAUSE SPARKS. WINDS VEER TO THE SOUTHEAST LATE TONIGHT AND BEGIN
TO INCREASE ON TUESDAY, POSSIBLY GUSTING OVER 20 KNOTS BY
AFTERNOON. THOUGH EVENTUALLY THIS WILL BRING MORE HUMID
CONDITIONS, THERE MAY BE A PERIOD ON TUESDAY WHERE LOW HUMIDITY
AND BREEZIER CONDITIONS HAVE SOME OVERLAP SIMILAR TO WHAT WAS SEEN
ON SUNDAY.
