MIDDLE 70S TO THE LOWER 80S.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE (LESS THAN 20 PERCENT) FOR AN ISOLATED

EXTENSIVE PERIODS OF HOT TEMPERATURES, SOMEWHAT DRY AIR, AND A
BIT OF BREEZY WINDS MAY LEAD TO QUICK DRYING OF FUELS AND LOCALLY
ELEVATED FIRE WEATHER.

WILL OCCUR ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE AREA EARLY NEXT WEEK.
