Dry Week And Fire Weather Notes
The week looks dry overall, with only minimal chances for precipitation through Friday and into the weekend. Afternoon relative humidity values will be on the low side, near 25 to 60 percent in lowland areas, so outdoor burning and open flames should be handled with extra caution. Ventilation is expected to be fair to good this afternoon and again on Wednesday, with poorer mixing on most other days.
What To Know For Plans And Travel
Today is excellent for outdoor plans. A light jacket should cover the cool morning, and conditions turn comfortable by midday.
