Warm Next Week

More clouds today than the last few days, but still a bit warmer and breezier too. Elevated fire danger continues today. Some showers and a few thunderstorms will be in the area beginning tonight (especially late), persisting through Saturday. The best chance for rain is Friday night. Temperatures will cool off a bit this weekend, even as rain moves out by Sunday. Warm to hot weather looms for early next week.
