Elevated Fire Danger Today and Tuesday

Windy Conditions Today

Record highs possible Today

Showers and Storms Wednesday Evening and Night

Elevated fire danger expected today and Tuesday as gusty southerly winds up to 30 to 40 mph at times combine with a dry air mass. Elevated Fire Danger means that weather and land conditions are favorable for erratic fire spread, if a fire does start.

Windy conditions are expected today, especially west of the U.S. 65 corridor where winds may gust 30 to 40 mph at times.

Gusty southerly winds will help usher in even warmer temperatures today as highs warm into the lower to middle 80s. This will approach or eclipse records in many locations.

A front will move east into the area Wednesday evening and night. Showers and storms will develop along the front. There will be the potential for some strong to severe storms mainly west of I-49 with damaging winds and hail the main risk. Showers and non-severe storms could linger into Thursday.
