We’ve had a breezy past couple of days after a quick but damp cold front ran through on Friday. Temperatures remain warm but pleasant for the weekend with temperatures in the 70s during the day and the 40s by night.
Starting off from Saturday evening into Sunday, we’ll see a significant change in the wind direction overnight. Winds will shift from the northwest to the southeast as the day progresses. A strong high pressure system in the Atlantic will form helping winds to shift to the southeast as it moves further east. Dewpoints are still fairly low at this point which indicates a drier warming trend for the next couple of days.
One thing of note is due to the lack of rain we’ve had like we usually do around the weekend, there is some concern for fire weather to be a concern. Winds will begin to pick up especially around Monday, and any controlled burns may be problematic due to the wind gusts.
Speaking of everybody’s favorite day of the week, we’ll see another dry day ahead with temperatures possibly topping out around 80 in some areas. Humidity will be up a tad with the southern winds pushing from the Gulf. Lows will also start to climb into the 60s for the next couple of days. I wouldn’t be surprised to see some local burn bans take place along with another fire weather outlook ahead, so keep an eye out starting next week.
