.DISCUSSION...

A limited fire weather threat remains across the Mid-South behind
this morning`s cold frontal passage. Minimum relative humidity
values will continue at around 35-40% today and tomorrow. 20ft
northwest winds will remain elevated at around 10-15 kts through
tomorrow, behind this same front. Minimum relative humidity
values will increase to around 50% by Friday as a low pressure
system ushers in moisture. Wetting rain does not look to return to
the forecast until next week.
