Elevated Fire Danger This Weekend

Clouds will be increasing tonight, as southeast breezes ramp upward through Saturday. Most lows tonight will dip into the 40s early, before rising later. Saturday will be partly sunny, with scattered light rain showers gradually spreading eastward. Highs will reach the upper 60s to low 70s, with brisk southeast breezes. Sunday continues to have brisk southeast breezes, along with chances of light showers, and perhaps a weak thunderstorm. Highs will climb into the mid 70s to mid 80s. Behind a cold front, Monday looks sunny and cool, with highs only reaching the mid 50 to low 60s. Another weak system Tuesday brings a small chance of light showers and continued cool temperatures. Wednesday should rebound about 10 degrees warmer, with a mostly sunny sky.

Gusty southerly winds, lower humidity, and rapid drying of fire fuels and crops will lead to elevated fire danger through the weekend. Use extreme caution if spending time outside or working in farm fields. Know what you will do in case a spark starts a wildfire.
