DISCUSSION
COLD FRONT HAS PASSED THROUGH THE REGION WITH LIGHT RAIN
ENDING WEST TO EAST EARLY THIS MORNING. THIS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR A
PROLONGED PERIOD OF DRY WEATHER, WITH COOLER CONDITIONS THE FIRST PART
OF THE NEW WEEK, THEN MUCH MILDER AND ABOVE NORMAL TEMPERATURES BY MID
TO LATE WEEK. TODAY COULD PRESENT A DECENT BURNING OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALLER
FUELS ASSUMING THINGS AREN'T TOO WET FROM RECENT RAINFALL, BUT OVERALL
COOLER TEMPERATURES WILL LIKELY LIMIT LARGER FUEL SUSCEPTIBILITY. MINIMUM
RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES SHOULD DROP INTO THE 35 TO 45 PERCENT RANGE
THIS AFTERNOON WITH GOOD BOUNDARY LAYER MIXING AND FAVORABLE TRANSPORT
WINDS FOR GOOD TO EXCELLENT DISPERSION.
