Expect a warm, windy day across the area today, with highs climbing into the 80s. Southerly winds with gusts around 30 MPH are expected, and along with low relative humidity values, will result in critical fire weather conditions across the area. Friday brings a notable change, as a cold front passes through the area, ushering in cooler temps and gusty northwest winds. This system will also bring a chance for some scattered showers. Highs to start the weekend only top out in the 50s to low 60s, then a touch warmer on Sunday in the 70s.
