.DISCUSSION...
After a chilly start, high temperatures on Saturday will rebound to 
near seasonable levels, with high pressure in control. 

It will be quite dry today under the influence of high pressure. 
Minimum relative humidity is forecast to dip into the lower 20
percent range at the burn site this afternoon, although upper teens 
is not out of the question as drier air aloft may make its way
to the surface. 

Winds will generally be light and from west-southwesterly direction, 
but it will be gusty at times this afternoon, with gusts generally
in the teens, up to around 20 mph. 

Shower chances then return late tonight with a quick passing system 
to the north. However, the chance for precipitation remains low, 
around 20 percent, and a wetting rain is not likely. Generally
only a couple of hundredths of accumulated precipitation is expected
late tonight, at best.
