LIGHT WINDS, HIGH RELATIVE HUMIDITY VALUES AND RAIN-FREE CONDITIONS
WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP OVERALL FIRE WEATHER CONCERNS LOW FOR THE
WEEK. HOWEVER, THERE IS A HIGH PROBABILITY THAT FOG WILL DEVELOP
EACH NIGHT THROUGH THE WEEK. IF ANY RESIDUAL SMOKE LINGERS, THIS
COULD MIX WITH FOG TO REDUCE VISIBILITIES TO NEAR ZERO, ESPECIALLY

THICKEST AND MOST WIDESPREAD.
