 .DISCUSSION...
 Unusual heat for April will stay with us through Saturday afternoon. 
 We expect record-breaking temperatures in the 80s today. Because it 
 has been so dry lately, the danger for brush fires is high. This is 
 especially true on Thursday, when it will be windy with gusts up to 
 30 miles per hour, although RH values are not expected to be 
 critically low, generally 30 to 40 percent. 
 
 A few strong storms are possible Thursday evening, but the biggest 
 change happens Saturday night. A cold front will bring much-needed 
 rain and much cooler air. Temperatures on Sunday and Monday will be 
 about 30 degrees colder than they are right now, and we might even 
 see some frost early next week.
