Elevated fire danger will occur across portions of the area today (Tuesday) due to dry air and gusty southerly winds. Elevated fire danger means that weather and land conditions are favorable for erratic fire spread, if a fire does start.
Gusty southerly winds will develop across the area today. Gusts of around 25 to 35 mph will occur at times. The strongest winds will generally occur along and west of Highway 65.
We'll have gusty winds and elevated fire danger today along with above normal temperatures that will persist through Saturday. A low chance for precipitation will pass through Thursday night.
The extended outlook for November 11th through the 17th favors above normal temperatures with nearly equal chances for above, below, or near normal precipitation.
