Fire Weather
Drier air has spread through the area since yesterday morning resulting in clearing skies and an end to the rain chances. The weather system will still linger across the region over the next couple of days bringing light shower chances to mountain areas Saturday, but no wetting rainfall is expected. Minimum humidity levels will fall into a 25-50% range following good to excellent overnight recovery. Light winds are forecast for today and for much of the area on Saturday with only some breeziness possible early Saturday across the western districts. Overall quiet weather conditions are forecast Sunday into next week with fairly stable humidities and temperatures rebounding back into the normal range by around Tuesday.
