Weekend Outlook

Fire Weather Concerns

No rain anticipated through the weekend and most or all of next week. Sunny skies to continue through the weekend. Highs will be in the upper 70s to mid 80s. The air will be dry allowing overnight lows to cool into the 50s and lower 60s most places.

Fire weather continues to be a concern. With little to no rain expected through the weekend and beyond, we will continue to dry things out. Afternoon RH values will fall into the mid 20s to mid 30s across much of the inland area through the weekend. This will combine with increasingly dry fire weather fuels and worsening drought conditions. Wind speeds are likely to increase over the weekend, which will increase the potential for more significant wind-driven fire spread. Fire Weather Watches or Red Flag Warnings may be necessary this weekend.
