If conditions become unrepresentative, contact the National Weather Service .DISCUSSION... Warming temperatures and dry conditions will be the trend at least through Thursday. It will be breezy today, with wind decreasing for Thursday. Friday will see increased chances of showers and thunderstorms, though there is still uncertainty on how widespread this activity will be.
