Warmer sunshine is in the forecast today with highs near 90ºF. It will again be very windy. Dry northwest winds gust 35 - 45 mph this afternoon, making for Extreme Fire Danger. Please be careful out there! Strong winds combined with very low relative humidity (5-15%) make for dangerous fire weather conditions. A Red Flag warning will be in effect through 9 p.m.

Relief is on the horizon! Humidity will rebound this weekend. This along will help reduce our fire risk (finally). I'm watching slight rain chances for this Sunday!
