DISCUSSION
RAINFALL AMOUNTS OVER THE PAST TWO DAYS RANGING BETWEEN 0.20 AND
1.50" WITH RH VALUES THIS AFTERNOON AND TOMORROW AFTERNOON
RANGING 45 TO 55% SHOULD PREVENT FIRE SPREAD. HOWEVER, SOUTHEAST
WINDS ON SATURDAY TURN BREEZY WITH GUSTS UP TO 25MPH.
A WIDESPREAD SOAKING RAIN IS LIKELY SATURDAY NIGHT INTO SUNDAY
RESULTING IN 0.50 - 0.75" OF RAIN ACROSS THE REGION. THEREFORE,
WHILE RH VALUES MONDAY ARE EXPECTED TO DROP TO 30 - 35% WITH WIND
GUSTS OF 20-25 MPH, THE WETTING RAIN SHOULD HELP PREVENT CONCERNS
FOR FIRE SPREAD. LIGHTER WINDS BUT DRIER CONDITIONS EXPECTED TUE-
WED NEXT WEEK.
