DISCUSSION
COOL AND DRY WEATHER WILL PREVAIL TODAY WITH AFTERNOON RH
DROPPING TO AROUND AND BELOW 20 PERCENT THE PINEY WOODS
REGION. THIS WILL HELP TO DRIVE FINE FUEL MOISTURE DOWN AS
THEY RESPOND TO ANOTHER DAY OF VERY LOW HUMIDITY. WINDS WILL
BE VARIABLE AT AROUND 5 MPH THROUGH TUESDAY MORNING. 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 BECOME SOUTHERLY BY TUESDAY AND WILL
STRENGTHEN AGAIN. THOUGH EVENTUALLY THIS WILL BRING MORE
HUMID CONDITIONS, RH IS EXPECTED TO BE IN THE UPPER 20S OVER
THIS REGION.
