TONIGHT: Overnight lows cool to the mid-30s with winds out of the west at 5-10 mph.

TOMORROW: A Red Flag warning has been issued until 7 PM Friday evening as wind gusts up to 40 mph remain possible. Skies become mostly cloudy with highs into the mid-60s.

EXTENDED: Warmer winds will send temperatures back to the 60s on Friday but will also contribute to an enhanced fire risk. Beneficial rain is expected this weekend as rain chances arrive late Saturday, and a few rumbles of thunder are possible overnight before showers exit on Sunday. This system will bring a widespread quarter and a half inch of rainfall, leaving seasonal conditions in its wake as highs remain in the low 60s early next week.
