418 AM EDT Thu Jun 20 2013

.DISCUSSION..

HIGH PRESSURE TO OUR NORTHEAST WILL BE CREATING SOUTHEAST WINDS
ACROSS THE AREA TODAY WITH A CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND STORMS MAINLY
IN THE MOUNTAINS. THE HIGH PRESSURE WILL KEEP MOST OF THE REGION
DRY INTO THE WEEKEND ASIDE FROM ISOLATED AFTERNOON MOUNTAIN
SHOWERS OR STORMS. NEXT WEEK THE HUMIDITY INCREASES AS THE HIGH
SHIFTS SOUTHEAST. FIRE DANGER IS EXPECTED TO STAY LOW GIVEN
HUMIDITY AND ELEVATED FUEL MOISTURES.
