WEATHER ALERT: An elevated fire risk continues (and likely through the week). Due to the dry conditions, any fires could spread quickly. Good evening Some very light showers expected later this evening (after 9pm) and overnight, however only amounting to around 0.10 to 0.15 inches. We are running -5.15" below normal the last 59 days. An elevated fire risk continues due to very dry brush, dry air and occasional gusty winds. That fire risk may increase a bit Wednesday and Thursday due to warmer temps and gustier winds.
