Gusty afternoon and evening winds will lighten up as the front moves into the area, become variable for a period during the early to mid morning, then prevail out of a northwesterly direction. Warm southerly return flow spreads over the burn area, limiting overnight recoveries into Friday and increasing temperatures on Friday afternoon with minimal change to minimum afternoon humidity. Another weak storm system moves through the area late Friday through Sunday. Moderation of temperature and RH is expected once again alongside higher probability of precipitation (around 40-50%) and a medium chance (~35%) of wetting rains on Saturday. Winds are also expected to increase out of the southwest during this period, with peak gusts exceeding 30 mph on exposed terrain/ ridges during the afternoon hours. Winds gradually shift to northwesterly Saturday evening into Sunday morning as high pressure rebuilds over Utah. Monday forward features higher likelihoods of significantly warming temperatures, with the 60 degree threshold likely being exceeded by Monday afternoon and through the remainder of the week. Humidity will also decrease alongside warming, with minimums projected to reach 10-15% by the middle of the week next week. .REST OF TODAY...
