Friday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

Sorry for the late update this morning, it has been a busy day for me here in the weather center. We started off cold this morning with most areas at or below freezing. We should warm up nicely this afternoon into the low to mid 60s. Winds will be from the southwest at 5 to 10 mph so it won't be nearly as windy today as it was yesterday.

Tomorrow and Sunday are a different story. Windy conditions are expected through the weekend. This will combine with low relative humidity values and warm temperatures. Most of the area is under a Red Flag Warning for tomorrow and a Fire Weather Watch for Saturday night and Sunday. We all need to be very careful this weekend. It won't take much for a fire to get out of control quickly, so please follow all the necessary fire precautions. Highs on Saturday and Sunday look to be in the mid to upper 70s. Some locations may reach the low 80s.

A cold front is expected to arrive late Sunday night into Monday morning. This should cool us down into the mid 60s for high on Monday and Tuesday. It still looks like we will remain dry for at least the next week.

Have a fantastic Friday!
