DISCUSSION

RANGE DURING PEAK AFTERNOON HOURS. MOISTURE LEVELS WILL REMAIN
LARGELY UNCHANGED WITH MIN RH VALUES IN THE 40S ACROSS INLAND
AREAS AND CLOSER TO THE LOW 50S NEAR THE COAST. CRITICAL FIRE
WEATHER CONCERNS WILL BE LIMITED DUE TO THESE MOISTURE LEVELS.

BE CHANCES FOR LIGHT TO MODERATE FOG PARTICULARLY INLAND EACH
MORNING THIS WEEK.
1)THERE IS A LOW CHANCE OF PATCHY LIGHT TO MODERATE FOG THIS
MORNING AND TOMORROW MORNING.
