Saturday Update

From meteorologist Jason Myers.....

A Red Flag Warning will remain in effect for Sunday, meaning that the threat for fires getting out of control is high.

Another warm, recording breaking high temperature today. Today's high of 78 degrees beat the record of 74 degrees set back in 1965. The warm temperatures will stay around for the rest of the weekend along with the windy conditions. Sunday's winds will be from the west-southwest from around 10-20 mph with some gusts 25-30 mph at certain locations. A cold front will move through on Monday bringing temperatures down into the 60s for the first half of the week, yet the 70s will return for Thursday and Friday.

Long-range models are indicating cold, arctic air working its way down into Texas and the Big Country about 10 days from now. That's still a long way out, yet it does look like colder air is possible for the week after the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.

The fire danger remains in effect with no rain chances in the near future.
