.DISCUSSION...A hot, dry, and breezy period continues through Saturday before a
pattern change brings cooler conditions and higher RH beginning Sunday into
next week. A Red Flag Warning is in effect for Friday for hot, dry, and windy
conditions. The main concern will be increasing NE winds during the evening hours,
gusting up to 25 mph after 2100 on Friday evening. Poor humidity recovery is
expected Friday night with continuing NE winds. Saturday looks to be the hottest
day of the stretch with breezy NE winds continuing. Winds turn back to be out of
the southwest Sunday morning as high pressure aloft begins to weaken. Showers and
thunderstorms are looking increasingly likely by Monday, though showers will be
spotty and multiple days of wetting rains are not expected next week.
