DISCUSSION
SURFACE RIDGING REMAINS IN PLACE, KEEPING THINGS DRY AND HOT

QUICK STARTING FIRES, THOUGH LIGHT WINDS SHOULD MITIGATE RAPID
FIRE SPREAD. VENT RATES WILL BE POOR TO FAIR THROUGH AT LEAST
MIDWEEK.
A PATTERN CHANGE COMES BY THE END OF THE WEEK, BRINGING THE
RETURN PRECIPITATION (20-40% CHANCE) AND SOMEWHAT COOLER
TEMPERATURES.
