.DISCUSSION...

A moist airmass and approaching cold front will trigger 
shower and thunderstorm this afternoon into Saturday. 
Rainfall totals look to be in the 0.25 to 0.50 inch rage 
for many locations and some parts of the western mountains
could have an inch plus. High pressure brings drier weather 
for early next week.

Sunday and Monday will be the next days that are more favorable 
for burning.
