High pressure moving through the area ahead of a cold front will give us an increasingly brisk westerly flow of mild air. Due to the winds, low humidity and very dry ground will give our area a chance of brush and wildfires today so a Red Flag Warning has been issued.
The cold front will come through dry late tonight and Saturday will be a cooler day with less winds than today.
A frontal system will approach our area on Sunday, there will be a chance of showers in the afternoon but will be widespread at night with 1/4 to 1/2″ of rainfall expected.
Veterans Day will be partly sunny and mild.
Cooler Tuesday and Wednesday and another frontal system may cause showers Wednesday night into Thursday.
