Yesterday’s rainfall was welcome, however, it didn’t amount to much. It likely didn’t even put a dent in our drought situation. The combination of drought, a shot of dry air, and gusty winds today, means a significant fire danger returns to the forecast.

A front will move through around midday, zapping out the humidity and making it very windy. Winds will gust from the northwest up to 25 mph. A Red Flag Warning is in effect until 8pm for much of the area.
