Friday Afternoon Update

From Meteorologist Nathan Motz.....

Afternoon high temperatures will be on the increase over the weekeend, despite a weak cold front moving through the area late in the day on Saturday. Tomorrow through Monday, high temperatures will remain in the 70's to around 80 degrees.

However, the above average temperatures will move out of the area by Tuesday as a stronger cold front will drop temperatures back into the upper 50's. Rain chances will remain scarce, however, as drier winds from out of the southwest will limit the moisture return from the Gulf of Mexico. Thus, dry and mild weather will continue from Tuesday on into late next week.

Breezy conditions will also prevail tomorrow through Tuesday and we will have to watch the fire weather danger as a dry west-southwest wind will continue across the area. The fire danger will peak as we head into Monday as very warm temperatures in the lower 80's will combine with dry southwesterly winds and fairly low relative humidities.

Have a great weekend!!!
