.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.
