Monday Night Update

From Chief Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

It was a beautiful day across our area with sunny skies and highs in the mid 70s to low 80s. We started off with breezy conditions this morning, but by this afternoon the winds had become lighter.

Tuesday looks to be another gorgeous day with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Breezy conditions should return to the region with winds from the south at 10 to 20 mph. The airmass will likely remain dry so our fire danger will be elevated tomorrow. Please do all that you can to prevent fires. Don't burn anything right now. Don't throw cigarette butts out of the window. These are just some of the things that can be done.

A strong storm system is expected to build northwest of us. This will cause us to have windy conditions Wednesday and Thursday. The winds won't be as strong as this past weekend, but we could see sustained speeds of 20 to 30 mph with higher gusts. Highs for Wednesday should reach the mid to upper 70s before a cold front arrives that night into Thursday morning. Partly cloudy skies look to develop Wednesday, but there will likely not be any rain due to a lack of moisture in the area. Highs on Thursday will be in the low to mid 60s thanks to the cooler air that will be in place.

Friday through Monday should be dry with mostly sunny skies and highs in the 60s.

Have a terrific Tuesday!
