| Weather Concerns | After very windy conditions yesterday and last night, wind will continue to decrease during the morning, and critical fire weather conditions are not expected to recur. The cold air behind the front however is very dry, so even though afternoon highs will cool 10 to 15 degrees F from yesterday, some locations will see afternoon humidity once again below 15 percent. Humidity will increase again starting Sunday, even as temperatures warm. |
