Afternoon temperatures near to slightly above normal will persist
into next week. Min RH values will remain in the single digits to
lower teens in the valleys, with values generally in the teens
for the mountains. Tomorrow and Sunday, breezy west to northwest
winds 15-20 mph combined with already low relative humidity in
place may result in near critical fire weather conditions.
Otherwise, typical afternoon breeziness will persist into next
week each afternoon due to daytime heating. Winds become light and
variable overnight.
