weather conditions when combined with the warm and very dry 
airmass and dry fuels. Expect very poor overnight humidity 
recoveries in the North Bay Mountains and East Bay Hills tonight 
with relative humidity values remaining below 30 percent, and even
below 20 percent on the higher ridges. Minimum relative humidity 
values on Sunday are forecast to be 10 to 20 percent and as low as
the single digits in the hills. In addition, high temperatures on
Sunday are forecast to be warmer than Saturday by about five
degrees. Overnight relative humidity recoveries are expected to 
be better for North Bay Valleys and winds will mostly be light in 
the valleys. 

Warm and very dry conditions are forecast to continue into Monday,
but winds will generally be light, even in the hills, from mid
morning Sunday through Monday.
