First and foremost, serious fire danger conditions persist from the on-going low humidity (single digit) and dry fuel loads. For the weather, very dry and warming temperatures (well above average, 6 – 12 degrees) are in order today and Friday, as high pressure builds in. Thankfully the winds have suppressed, for the moment. Cooler air returns Sunday and early part of next week, as an upper low moves from the Rockies SW towards our area.
