DISCUSSION
AS WITH THE PAST SEVERAL DAYS, THIS AFTERNOON LOOKS UNSEASONABLY
HOT AND DRY, WITH RH FALLING TO A LITTLE BELOW 30 PERCENT AT THEIR
MINIMUM WHILE TEMPERATURES RISE TO AROUND 90 DEGREES OR JUST A
SHADE BELOW IT. FORTUNATELY, IN SPITE OF THE VERY DRY CONDITIONS,
WINDS GENERALLY OUT OF THE NORTHEAST WILL CONTINUE TO REMAIN
FAIRLY LIGHT - LESS THAN 10 MPH AND MORE ALONG THE LINES OF 5 MPH
OR LIGHTER.
DESPITE THIS HOT AND DRY STRETCH DOMINATING RECENT DAYS, WE CAN
EXPECT TO SEE A LIFT OUT OF THAT PATTERN BEGINNING. WINDS SHOULD
TURN MORE SOUTHEASTERLY TONIGHT, AND ESPECIALLY BY TOMORROW
MORNING. THE ONSHORE FLOW WILL GRADUALLY BRING MORE HUMID
CONDITIONS TO THE AREA, THOUGH THIS FAR INLAND, THE FIRE SITE WILL
BE AMONG THE LAST IN THE AREA TO SEE ITS BENEFITS. AS A RESULT,
WE MAY AGAIN SEE RH DIP BELOW 40 PERCENT FOR ONE MORE DAY
TOMORROW; A MODEST IMPROVEMENT, BUT STILL QUITE DRY.
IN THE LONG TERM, MOISTURE WILL CONTINUE TO BUILD INTO THE
WEEKEND, AND AS A WEAK FRONT APPROACHES THE AREA SATURDAY,
POTENTIAL FOR ISOLATED TO SCATTERED SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL
EMERGE, FOLLOWED BY THE RETURN OF MUCH DRIER AIR ON SUNDAY.
