Warm and dry conditions will continue through early next week with
afternoon high temperatures falling just short of records. Very
dry low level air will keep min RH`s in the teens through Sunday
and just a few percent higher early next week. Breezy conditions
will bring some elevated fire weather conditions for Sunday, but
looks like critical conditions would be isolated and mainly on the
eastern slopes of the Sacramento Mountains. Vent rates will be
poor to good on Sat, improving to good to very good for Sunday.
