Another Windy Day

From Meteorologist Brandon Rector...

We are off to a cold start this morning with temperatures in the upper teens to upper 20s across the viewing area. This means you'll want to bundle up this morning, but by this afternoon you won't need the heavy winter coat. Highs today will be in the low to mid 60s under mostly sunny skies. Winds should pick up through the day. They will be from the south-southwest at 20 to 30 mph by this afternoon. If you are in a high profile vehicle, grip the steering wheel tight because you will feel the wind. Red Flag Warnings are in effect for the entire viewing area through 6 pm this evening. Please be careful out there. Don't throw cigarette butts out of the window and be careful with welding torches.

Groundhog Day should be pleasant with highs in the mid to upper 60s. Winds are expected to be light and skies will be mostly sunny.

Windy conditions will return for Sunday through Tuesday. Elevated to critical fire weather conditions are likely during that time period. Highs for Sunday and Monday should be in the low to mid 70s under partly cloudy skies. A cold front is expected to move through the area late Monday. This will cool our high temperatures down into the mid 50s for Tuesday. There could be a few showers late Monday into early Tuesday, but the chance is less than 20%.

Wednesday and Thursday look dry with highs in the upper 50s under mostly sunny skies.

Have a fantastic Friday!
