A Red Flag WARNING has been issued for this afternoon and evening as the combination of strong winds and a very dry air mass will lead to high fire danger. Avoid outdoor burning as fires could quickly grow out of control.
Temperatures will heat up quickly in this type of environment with many of us reaching 80-degrees or better this afternoon under a mix of clouds and sun.
Rain chances won’t begin to grow until Tuesday night and especially into Wednesday. We are heading into early May with a growing moisture deficit that has surpassed two inches. We’ll have the chance to make that up as a stalled out frontal boundary brings chances for showers and storms Wednesday through Thursday.
Right now its too early to pinpoint any severe threats but, it is something we’ll be watching over the next 48 hours.
