DISCUSSION
WIDESPREAD RAINFALL CONTINUES THROUGH THIS EVENING AS OUR FIRST
CLIPPER SYSTEM MOVES THROUGH. THEN DRY CONDITIONS RETURN SATURDAY
WITH OUR NEXT SYSTEM ARRIVING SUNDAY BRINGING MORE WIDESPREAD
PRECIPITATION. THIS WILL MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE MOISTURE WITHIN
FINE FUELS ACROSS OUR FORECAST AREA. LOOKING AHEAD TO NEXT WEEK,
AS IS TYPICAL MARCH FASHION, PERIODS OF DRY CONDITIONS WILL BE
CLOSELY FOLLOWED BY ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PRECIPITATION.
WINDS ALSO GENERALLY LOOK TO REMAIN WELL UNDER CRITERIA FOR FIRE
SPREAD CONCERN.
