Thursday Morning Update

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We started off with another mild morning as temperatures only bottomed out in the mid to upper 60s. Another warm afternoon is on tap for us today with highs in the mid 80s to about 90. Winds will be very strong from the west-southwest at 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts. Because of the strong winds, low relative humidity values, and dry conditions that are expected today, a Red Flag Warning is in effect for the entire area. So, please follow all of the necessary precautions to help prevent fires. Also, you'll probably want to put off your trip to the lake since there is a Lake Wind Advisory in effect for much of the area for today.

A cold front will arrive later, so tonight will be mostly clear and cooler. It may remain a bit breezy. Lows will be in the low 50s.

Another reinforcing cold front is expected tomorrow so highs for Friday will likely be in the mid to upper 70s. Windy conditions should return with winds from the northwest at 20 to 30 mph. We could possibly see more Red Flag Warnings for tomorrow.

The weekend looks beautiful. It will be a perfect opportunity to get outdoors and do something like playing golf or going to the park. Highs will be in the 70s under mostly sunny skies.

Partly cloudy skies return for the beginning of next week with highs in the low to mid 80s.

Have a terrific Thursday!
