WITH THUNDERSTORMS POSSIBLE LATE THIS EVENING FOR THE EASTERN
COUNTIES WHICH MAY BRING GUSTY AND ERRATIC WINDS. ON FRIDAY, A
SIMILAR PATTERN IS EXPECTED AND A FIRE WEATHER WATCH IS IN EFFECT,
LIKELY TO BE UPGRADED TO A RED FLAG WARNING FOR AT LEAST THE WESTERN
ZONES IN THE NEXT FORECAST UPDATE. FUELS WILL CONTINUE DRYING OUT AS
WE HEAD INTO THE WEEKEND, AND THE STRONGEST WINDS LOOK TO BE ON
SATURDAY WHEN HUMIDITY WILL FALL TO AS LOW AS 5 PERCENT, AND A FIRE
PRODUCT MAY BE NEEDED. THINGS CALM DOWN A BIT SUNDAY AND BEYOND AS
WINDS WILL BE LIGHTER, BUT HUMIDITY WILL REMAIN BELOW 15 PERCENT
EACH AFTERNOON.
