DISCUSSION
ANOTHER DAY OF COOL AND DRY WEATHER IS ANTICIPATED WITH AFTERNOON
RH DROPPING TO AROUND AND BELOW 20 PERCENT ACROSS THE AREA,
POTENTIALLY EVEN TO THE BEACHES. THIS WILL HELP TO DRIVE FINE FUEL
MOISTURE DOWN AS THEY RESPOND TO ANOTHER DAY OF VERY LOW
HUMIDITY. UNLIKE YESTERDAY, HOWEVER, WINDS SHOULD CALM DOWN TO BE
LIGHTER THAN YESTERDAY FOR THE BULK OF THE AFTERNOON'S HOTTEST AND
DRIEST PART OF THE DAY. STILL, GIVEN THE BACKGROUND DROUGHT
CONDITIONS AND BEGINNING OF A LOW HUMIDITY STRETCH, CAUTION SHOULD
BE EXERCISED WHEN WORKING WITH OPEN FLAMES OR OPERATING EQUIPMENT
THAT CAN CAUSE SPARKS. WINDS VEER TO BECOME ONSHORE BY TUESDAY
AND WILL STRENGTHEN AGAIN. THOUGH EVENTUALLY THIS WILL BRING MORE
HUMID CONDITIONS, THERE MAY BE A PERIOD ON TUESDAY WHERE LOW
HUMIDITY AND BREEZIER CONDITIONS HAVE SOME OVERLAP SIMILAR TO WHAT
WAS SEEN ON SUNDAY. DEEPER INTO THE WEEK, A DRY COLD FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO ARRIVE THURSDAY.
