TODAY: We can expect a mostly sunny day with no rain chances expected. Winds will quite breezy though today with sustained winds sticking between 10-25 mph with gusts up to 40 mph at times. Temperatures will cool down compared to yesterday, but only slightly. We still see a very hot one out there today with high's in the mid 90's. This conditions are ripe for fire conditions so start fire alert!

TOMORROW: We are expecting fire conditions to also continue into tomorrow. Winds will be expected to be the same if not more for tomorrow with winds probably sticking between 15-25 mph. Temperatures might cool down to the low 90's for the high's, but it's still only a very tiny cooldown. Rain chances are none as there will also be mostly sunny skies into tomorrow.

LONG TERM: Winds start to die down into the weekend on Saturday and Sunday, which should also slim down the fire conditions just a little. Temperatures are expected to be maintained in the 90's throughout the next 7 days. The next rain chances come back on Sunday and look to possibly continue into the beginning of next week.
