Thursday will be absolutely stellar weather wise. We're looking at the return of 60- and 70-degree highs, plenty of sunshine and no rain. While this will make for a fabulous feeling and looking day, it will also increase the risk of fire weather concerns when combined with gusts between 20-30 mph and very low humidity. Be mindful of disposing of cigarettes safely and avoid open burning.

Rain will join us for the end of the week and into the weekend. Unfortunately, Saturday is looking to be on the soggy side. This can potentially work towards helping our moderate drought, but we will need repeated drenching rainfall to get us out of our rain deficit.

Temperatures cool down into Friday and drop into the 50s for the weekend.
