Warm & Windy Today:

Good Morning from Meteorologist Chris Whited...

* Warming up and very windy during the day today with south winds ranging anywhere between 20-30 miles per hour. Highs will climb into the lower 70s today and we should see a few high clouds working in the area later today.

* Fire Danger: The fire threat remains elevated thanks to the severe drought and the very windy conditions the next few days. Moisture will return from the southeast raising the relative humidity values before our next rain event. As of today, the NWS says they will not issue any advisories due to relative humidity values above
20% today, but having said that the threat is still high. All counties in the KRBC viewing area are under a burn ban.

* Warming Trend: Daytime highs in the 70s will be paramount as we head into Friday and the weekend with partly cloudy conditions. Nice weekend for outdoor activities.

* Rain Chances: Still looks like a line of thunderstorms will sweep through the Big Country late Sunday night and early Monday morning, which will probably bring us the best rain chances we've had since all the way back in October. There is also another chance for rain, although slight, for late Tuesday and into the day on Wednesday.

Have a great Thursday...
