Pleasant Tuesday with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Breezy east/northeast winds 5-10 mph with a few gusts up to 20 mph will be possible. The combination of low humidity, breezy winds and dry conditions will continue to keep the wildfire risk elevated. Please do not do any outdoor burning. There are signs of a pattern change by the end of the week around Halloween as moisture returns ahead of a storm system. While rain is possible by the weekend, specific details like timing and amounts will need to be ironed out in the coming days.
