.DISCUSSION...
Clear, dry conditions will continue through the end of the week. 
Summer-like humidity values are expected due to strong easterly 
winds that will continue through Friday. Low minimum RH values 
between 15 and 20 percent with poor to moderate overnight 
recoveries will create elevated to critical fire weather 
conditions, allowing new fire development to spread rapidly and 
prolong the burning period well into the overnight hours. Winds 
will gradually subside through the weekend, becoming more diurnal.
Humidities will gradually improve and temperatures cool after the
weekend as a more robust system tracks into the region.
