THE END OF THE WEEK, WITH RAIN CHANCES BOTH THURSDAY AND
SATURDAY. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS THROUGH BOTH EVENTS WILL LIKELY
BE AROUND 0.5" AT BEST. BY SUNDAY, FIRE DANGER CONCERNS WILL
RETURN AS MINRH VALUES ARE EXPECTED TO FALL BELOW 30%, WITH MANY
LOCATIONS FALLING BELOW 25% THROUGH THE FIRST HALF OF NEXT WEEK.
