The Week Ahead

SKYWARN Spotter Training Schedule

4PM 4/20 - Another Red Flag Warning has been issued for Tuesday into Wednesday. On Tuesday, winds will be lighter but very low humidity and the potential for gusty and erratic winds with high-based PM showers will keep fire concerns high. Southwest winds will increase on Wednesday, with gusts of 30 to 45 mph anticipated. With continued very low humidity, wildfire danger will be very high. While humidity will improve Thursday, strong, gusty winds will keep elevated fire concerns in the picture. Expect a break from the fire danger by Friday into early next week.

4PM 4/20 - Warm and dry weather will keep wildfire danger high through Wednesday. Strong winds will increase Wednesday and continue through Thursday across much of the area, but temperatures will cool down for Thursday. A cooler and more unsettled weather pattern will begin Friday and last into the early part of next week. Expect below average temepratures with a few disorganized storm systems bringing daily chances for rain and/or snow showers. Precipitation amounts remain uncertain, but we will at least get a break from the high fire danger for a few days.
