Warm, windy and dry conditions ahead as the fire danger increases.
Gusty winds, warm temperatures and low relative humidity will combine for the issuing of a Red Flag Warning Monday.
South/southwest winds gusting to near 30 MPH will prevail tomorrow into the early evening hours.
The chilly overnight lows we’ve seen lately won’t be as cold with temperatures expected in the lower to upper 30’s.
Monday’s highs will average around 20 to 25 degrees above normal for March.
A nice run of 70’s with windy conditions through mid-week as a couple of cold fronts create cooler conditions by the weekend.
With extra daylight in the evening hours the next few days should be quite enjoyable but the lift of a warm front and associated disturbance could mean isolated severe storms for portions of our region. The Leprechaun will be dancing with the sunshine next Sunday but temperatures in the lower 50’s won’t leave us feeling like we’ve found a pot of gold.
Our luck will improve after next weekend when we see the beginning of another warming trend.
