.DISCUSSION...**CORRECTED FORECAST BELOW**  All is good now. 



Dry weather takes hold Wednesday and Thursday with mainly sunny skies 

and lowering afternoon humidity. This will lead to rapid fuel drying. 

Expect breezy conditions to develop each afternoon/evening (mostly from the 

WNW) and drop off after sunset. Above normal temperatures are expected to 

continue for the foreseeable future. No significant rain chances are in the 

forecast for at least the next 7 days (generally <10%), so expect further 

drying.
