DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF COOL AND DRY WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED WITH AFTERNOON
RH DROPPING BETWEEN 19 TO 24 PERCENT RANGE ACROSS THE WILDFIRE
AREA. THIS WILL HELP TO DRIVE FINE FUEL MOISTURE DOWN AS THEY
RESPOND TO ANOTHER DAY OF VERY LOW HUMIDITY. UNLIKE YESTERDAY,
HOWEVER, WINDS SHOULD CALM DOWN TO BE LIGHTER THAN YESTERDAY FOR
THE BULK OF THE AFTERNOON'S HOTTEST AND DRIEST PART OF THE DAY.
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.
NORTHEAST WINDS DURING THE DAY, THEN SHIFTING TO THE SOUTHEAST,
THIS EVENING, SOUTH 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.
