WED MAY 14 2014
Raising temps continue until Thursday (with it being the warmest day of the week) as high pressure builds in. Current Barometer is a 30.14. Humidities will be quite low so the fire danger will be HIGH (with possible Red Flag weather on Thursday). Over then weekend, some cooling is possible, as a system jams its way thru the PACNW. Wet for them and dry for us with that system (what else is new). As high pressure weakens, that system slides south from the PACNW, later Sunday into Tuesday. It will eventually become quasi stationary over 4-Corners. So right now, next week looks much different than this week, with much cooler temps.
