We’re also looking at low relative humidity today, falling into the 20% range, along with winds from the southwest gusting at up to 20 mph. As a result, we have increased fire danger starting late this morning through early evening. Do not burn today.

Tomorrow will be a little cloudier, but highs still look to stay near 70 degrees. We cool down a little bit into the weekend and start of next week, but warm weather will return on Tuesday. While we stay dry through the end of the week, this weekend we’re looking at the chance for some severe weather. This looks to be late Saturday evening into early Sunday morning. Make sure to stay weather aware and prepare for possible power outages due to gusty winds downing trees and power lines.

Saturday evening we're looking at some severe weather.
